Bharudpura dam (also called Karam dam) on Karam river, a tributary of Narmada river, near Gujari village in Dharampuri Tehsil of Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh faced major disaster after the very first filling in August 2022 when there was seepage from and massive erosion of the dam wall starting from Aug 11, 2022. The disaster at the Rs 304.44 crore project whose construction started in 2018 created a major turbulence in Madhya Pradesh with allegations of sub-standard work, corruption and attempts to hush up the safety issues. As a precaution, the administration has on Aug 12, 2022 vacated 12 downstream villages in Dhar district and 6 in Khargone district and stopped traffic on roads close to the dam. Dhar Collector also said that the efforts to stop the seepage were not successful and that possible reason for erosion is the use of black rather than red soil in the construction of the earthn dam.

The under construction dam is to affect eight villages due to submergence and has plans to irrigate 10500 ha land in 42 villages including 27 of Dharampuri, 7 of Umarban and 8 of Maheshwar Tehsil. Even on Aug 13 afternoon, the seepage continued and state government was trying its best to save the dam wall from collapse by trying to drain out as much as water as possible. The Prime Minister, a report says, has talked with the Chief Minister on the issue. Army, National and State Disaster Response Forces have been kept on the stand by in case of any emergency. The report also said that there is a crack in the dam, which was also shown on several youtube videos.
