GUWAHATI, June 20 - With the water level of the Brahmaputra rising continuously, the Water Resources Department has closed the main sluice gate of the Bharalu river here today.
An official of the Water Resource Department said that if the sluice gate is kept open, water from the Brahmaputra would flow back into the Bharalu, flooding the entire city. The sluice gate will be reopened after the Brahmaputra water level recedes.
The official said there is no reason for the people to panic as five highly powerful machines have been engaged to pump out the water from the Bharalu into the Brahmaputra.
