It is released only once this year. The water level in the dam is 6 metres at present,” said mayor Diwakar Pandeshwar.

He was speaking to reporters on Thursday, April 16, after inspecting the collection of water in the company of officials. “Water rationing had begun at this time last year. All the people are at homes due to fear of Corona at present. Though the consumption of water is high, there was no need for rationing,” he said.

Corporation commissioner Ajith Kumar Hegde said that there is 16.60 meters water in Shambhoor dam. “As rain is expected when the water becomes less, there is no need for anxiety,” he said.

Assistant commissioner Dr Santhsoh, executive engineer Ravi Shanker, assistant executive engineer Naresh Shenoy, junior engineer Richard and others were present.
