Tangri River Surges Past Danger Mark in Ambala Cantonment

Heavy mountain rain drove inflows near 30,000 cusecs, prompting a high alert.

Overview

  • Evacuations are underway in low-lying colonies as authorities warn residents along both banks to move to safer locations.
  • The National Disaster Response Force has been deployed in Ambala Cantonment, with rescue boats arranged for emergency use.
  • Haryana minister Anil Vij inspected the river, put the administration on high alert, and directed coordinated action and regular public announcements.
  • Officials reported inflows of roughly 30,000 cusecs, exceeding the Tangri’s 15,400-cusec danger level, with continuous monitoring of projections.
  • Only about 25% of planned riverbed deepening was completed before the monsoon, and officials say remaining work will resume after the rains.
