SHILLONG:  The Chief Engineer (C), Maintenance & Small Hydro, MePGCL, Shillong has informed that due to incessant rain during the last few days, the water level of  Umiam Reservoir has risen up to 3205.62 ft at 10.30 am on July 26. It is apprehended that in case very heavy rainfall continues in the catchment area of the Umiam Dam, the reservoir may become full which would necessitate the opening of gates of  Umiam Dam to allow the flood to pass through.

All persons residing or working in the downstream of Umiam reservoir are cautioned against engaging in any activity near the banks of the river Umiam since the level of the water in the river may suddenly rise due to the opening of dam gates. All efforts will be made to regulate the discharge of water through the dam to the minimum.
