&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;CHANDIGARH: &lt;/em&gt;The monsoon eluding the north has now added a new worry - the sharply falling water level in the Bhakra dam, and the Pong dam, in Himachal Pradesh have led to a shortfall in power supply to the northern grid. The powerhouses of Bhakra are now supplying 10% less power to the northern grid, fuelling fears of severe power and water crisis in at least four states - Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan - and Chandigarh UT.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Concerned with the fast falling reservoir levels, representatives of partner states have mutually agreed to ration their water needs if the dry spell continues and the situation does not improve by July 5. &amp;quot;Partner states have been briefed about our concerns.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
We are releasing less water as Met reports have indicated a weak and delayed monsoon which is translating into about 10% less power generation,&amp;quot; said Ashok Thapa, member (power), Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The water level of Bhakra dam on July 2 was 1,535 feet compared to 1,597 feet last year, on this date. The level of Pong dam, situated on the Satluj in HP&#039;s Kangra district, stood at 1,290 feet on Monday, which is at least 60 feet less than last year on the same date.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In June 2010, the Bhakra had reached a record low of 1,507 feet.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With last year as its benchmark, power generation from the Bhakra powerhouse has fallen by 28 lakh units (LU), from 216 LU units to 188 LU. A powerhouse at Dehar is generating 46 LU less than last year.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The BBMB authorities said that the fall in generation is a fallout of lesser inflow into the reservoirs. The inflow from Satluj river to Bhakra reservoir has fallen by nearly 15,000 cusecs compared with last year. &amp;quot;The snow melt is there and contributed to a three feet level increase in Bhakra since past couple of days but this is not enough. We need rains to perk the water levels and power generation,&amp;quot; said Thapa.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This year, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan will feel the pinch more as it is for the first time that BBMB released 9% of Punjab&#039;s power share and 6% of Haryana&#039;s share to HP, following a Supreme Court directive. This has translated into both the states losing 150 MW of power between themselves.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;CHANDIGARH: &lt;/em&gt;The monsoon eluding the north has now added a new worry - the sharply falling water level in the Bhakra dam, and the Pong dam, in Himachal Pradesh have led to a shortfall in power supply to the northern grid. The powerhouses of Bhakra are now supplying 10% less power to the northern grid, fuelling fears of severe power and water crisis in at least four states - Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan - and Chandigarh UT.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Concerned with the fast falling reservoir levels, representatives of partner states have mutually agreed to ration their water needs if the dry spell continues and the situation does not improve by July 5. &amp;quot;Partner states have been briefed about our concerns.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
We are releasing less water as Met reports have indicated a weak and delayed monsoon which is translating into about 10% less power generation,&amp;quot; said Ashok Thapa, member (power), Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The water level of Bhakra dam on July 2 was 1,535 feet compared to 1,597 feet last year, on this date. The level of Pong dam, situated on the Satluj in HP&#039;s Kangra district, stood at 1,290 feet on Monday, which is at least 60 feet less than last year on the same date.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In June 2010, the Bhakra had reached a record low of 1,507 feet.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With last year as its benchmark, power generation from the Bhakra powerhouse has fallen by 28 lakh units (LU), from 216 LU units to 188 LU. A powerhouse at Dehar is generating 46 LU less than last year.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The BBMB authorities said that the fall in generation is a fallout of lesser inflow into the reservoirs. The inflow from Satluj river to Bhakra reservoir has fallen by nearly 15,000 cusecs compared with last year. &amp;quot;The snow melt is there and contributed to a three feet level increase in Bhakra since past couple of days but this is not enough. We need rains to perk the water levels and power generation,&amp;quot; said Thapa.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This year, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan will feel the pinch more as it is for the first time that BBMB released 9% of Punjab&#039;s power share and 6% of Haryana&#039;s share to HP, following a Supreme Court directive. This has translated into both the states losing 150 MW of power between themselves.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;CHANDIGARH: &lt;/em&gt;The monsoon eluding the north has now added a new worry - the sharply falling water level in the Bhakra dam, and the Pong dam, in Himachal Pradesh have led to a shortfall in power supply to the northern grid. The powerhouses of Bhakra are now supplying 10% less power to the northern grid, fuelling fears of severe power and water crisis in at least four states - Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan - and Chandigarh UT.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Concerned with the fast falling reservoir levels, representatives of partner states have mutually agreed to ration their water needs if the dry spell continues and the situation does not improve by July 5. &amp;quot;Partner states have been briefed about our concerns.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
We are releasing less water as Met reports have indicated a weak and delayed monsoon which is translating into about 10% less power generation,&amp;quot; said Ashok Thapa, member (power), Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The water level of Bhakra dam on July 2 was 1,535 feet compared to 1,597 feet last year, on this date. The level of Pong dam, situated on the Satluj in HP&#039;s Kangra district, stood at 1,290 feet on Monday, which is at least 60 feet less than last year on the same date.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In June 2010, the Bhakra had reached a record low of 1,507 feet.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With last year as its benchmark, power generation from the Bhakra powerhouse has fallen by 28 lakh units (LU), from 216 LU units to 188 LU. A powerhouse at Dehar is generating 46 LU less than last year.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The BBMB authorities said that the fall in generation is a fallout of lesser inflow into the reservoirs. The inflow from Satluj river to Bhakra reservoir has fallen by nearly 15,000 cusecs compared with last year. &amp;quot;The snow melt is there and contributed to a three feet level increase in Bhakra since past couple of days but this is not enough. We need rains to perk the water levels and power generation,&amp;quot; said Thapa.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This year, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan will feel the pinch more as it is for the first time that BBMB released 9% of Punjab&#039;s power share and 6% of Haryana&#039;s share to HP, following a Supreme Court directive. This has translated into both the states losing 150 MW of power between themselves.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;CHANDIGARH: &lt;/em&gt;The monsoon eluding the north has now added a new worry - the sharply falling water level in the Bhakra dam, and the Pong dam, in Himachal Pradesh have led to a shortfall in power supply to the northern grid. The powerhouses of Bhakra are now supplying 10% less power to the northern grid, fuelling fears of severe power and water crisis in at least four states - Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan - and Chandigarh UT.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Concerned with the fast falling reservoir levels, representatives of partner states have mutually agreed to ration their water needs if the dry spell continues and the situation does not improve by July 5. &amp;quot;Partner states have been briefed about our concerns.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
We are releasing less water as Met reports have indicated a weak and delayed monsoon which is translating into about 10% less power generation,&amp;quot; said Ashok Thapa, member (power), Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The water level of Bhakra dam on July 2 was 1,535 feet compared to 1,597 feet last year, on this date. The level of Pong dam, situated on the Satluj in HP&#039;s Kangra district, stood at 1,290 feet on Monday, which is at least 60 feet less than last year on the same date.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In June 2010, the Bhakra had reached a record low of 1,507 feet.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
With last year as its benchmark, power generation from the Bhakra powerhouse has fallen by 28 lakh units (LU), from 216 LU units to 188 LU. A powerhouse at Dehar is generating 46 LU less than last year.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The BBMB authorities said that the fall in generation is a fallout of lesser inflow into the reservoirs. The inflow from Satluj river to Bhakra reservoir has fallen by nearly 15,000 cusecs compared with last year. &amp;quot;The snow melt is there and contributed to a three feet level increase in Bhakra since past couple of days but this is not enough. We need rains to perk the water levels and power generation,&amp;quot; said Thapa.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This year, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan will feel the pinch more as it is for the first time that BBMB released 9% of Punjab&#039;s power share and 6% of Haryana&#039;s share to HP, following a Supreme Court directive. This has translated into both the states losing 150 MW of power between themselves.

Bhakra level plunges, power crisis imminent

-The Economic Times CHANDIGARH: The monsoon eluding the north has now added a new worry - the sharply falling water level in the Bhakra dam, and the Pong dam, in Himachal Pradesh have led to a shortfall in power supply to the northern grid. The powerhouses of Bhakra are now supplying 10% less power to the northern grid, fuelling fears of severe power and water crisis in at least four states - Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan - and Chandigarh UT.  Concerned with the fast falling reservoir levels, representatives of partner states have mutually agreed to ration their water needs if the dry spell continues and the situation does not improve by July 5. "Partner states have been briefed about our concerns. We are releasing less water as Met reports have indicated a weak and delayed monsoon which is translating into about 10% less power generation," said Ashok Thapa, member (power), Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).  The water level of Bhakra dam on July 2 was 1,535 feet compared to 1,597 feet last year, on this date. The level of Pong dam, situated on the Satluj in HP's Kangra district, stood at 1,290 feet on Monday, which is at least 60 feet less than last year on the same date.  In June 2010, the Bhakra had reached a record low of 1,507 feet.  With last year as its benchmark, power generation from the Bhakra powerhouse has fallen by 28 lakh units (LU), from 216 LU units to 188 LU. A powerhouse at Dehar is generating 46 LU less than last year.  The BBMB authorities said that the fall in generation is a fallout of lesser inflow into the reservoirs. The inflow from Satluj river to Bhakra reservoir has fallen by nearly 15,000 cusecs compared with last year. "The snow melt is there and contributed to a three feet level increase in Bhakra since past couple of days but this is not enough. We need rains to perk the water levels and power generation," said Thapa.  This year, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan will feel the pinch more as it is for the first time that BBMB released 9% of Punjab's power share and 6% of Haryana's share to HP, following a Supreme Court directive. This has translated into both the states losing 150 MW of power between themselves.
