Artificial Lake Forms in Nalagarh After Road Collapse, Flash Flood Risk Raised
An artificial lake has formed at Chikni Khud in Nalagarh after debris from a road collapse blocked the watercourse, threatening nearby houses and downstream villages with potential flash floods. Authorities, including the SDM and Public Works Department, are working to clear debris using machinery and create an outlet to safely discharge water. Residents downstream have been advised to relocate temporarily, and a family near the site has been moved to safer accommodation. The situation is critical due to the risk of the debris dam breaching, similar to last year's monsoon-related hillside collapse.
