NAGAON, May 21: The NEEPCO has opened seven gates of the Khandong Dam in Dima Hasao, leading to a rise in the water level of the Kopili River.
The gates were opened due to the increased water level in the reservoir of the Kapili Hydro Power Station caused by incessant rains over couple of days. The water level is expected to continue rising, especially with ongoing rainfall in Dima Hasao and Meghalaya.
