The release of silt-laden water from Pandoh Dam into the Sutlej river, instead of the Beas, by Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) has drawn the ire of the Punjab Government.
About Pandoh Dam:
It is an embankment dam constructed on the Beas River in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh.
Under the Beas Project, the dam was completed in the year 1977, and it was built with the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation.
Being a part of a run-of-the-river power design, this dam diverts the water of the Beas River to generate power at the Dehar Power House before being discharged into the Sutlej
The dam has also created the Pandoh Lake.
The dam is under the Bhakra Beas Management Board.
