4th phase of monsoon likely to be active next week
Keep your fingers crossed for the 4th phase of monsoon next week.

Fatehsagar and Pichola need more water for the overflow. As per data received, Fatehsagar needs 281mcft and Pichola needs 91 mcft water for the overflow. The dams filling these lakes have only 182 mcft of water which includes the dead storage of water.
