On Sunday morning there was a slight decrease in the water level of the Pong Dam, but the flow of water remained above the danger mark, increasing vigilance among the residents living in the low -lying areas. According to official data, the water level of the reservoir was 1,393.03 feet at 06:00 on Sunday, which is less than 1,393.93 feet on Saturday. The risk level is considered 1.390 feet.

Despite the fall in the water level, the District Administration of Kangra and the nearby Hoshiarpur district of Punjab warned that local flooding can still occur in the low -location areas of the Beas River and its tributaries, especially if the rain continues. Farmers and residents of these areas are advised to be vigilant and follow official instructions.
