What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

A sudden discharge of water from an auxiliary tunnel of the Parbati Hydroelectric Project Phase-II triggered a flood-like situation in Palchara village, forcing families to flee their homes. The incident occurred around 11 pm when water gushed out from ADIT-V of the project’s 32-km Head Race Tunnel (HRT). Officials stated the ingress was due to a technical snag in the tunnel, specifically a malfunction in an air-pressure valve connected to the head-race tunnel.

Why it matters

The uncontrolled water flow carried muck and debris from a nearby project dumping site into the residential area. The resulting flood damaged two houses, causing losses to around 15 families whose premises included homes, shops, and homestays. Preliminary assessments placed the damage to a house and infrastructure between Rs 1 crore and Rs 1.5 crore.
