Nalgonda: With only four days left for the
Krishna Pushkaralu to take off, the low water levels in the
Nagarjunasagar might dash the hopes of many devotees who wish to take a
holy dip at the Pushkar Ghats.
Though heavy rains in the upstream and catchment areas of River
Krishna helped Srisailam reservoir to raise its water level to 855 feet,
the water level at Nagarjunasagar reservoir has so far reached only 505
feet as against 590 feet.
It is learnt that holy dip in Krishna at Ghats constructed in
Chandampeta mandal in the district was possible only if water level
reaches 570 feet.
If the outflows and inflows at Nagarjunasagar continue at this
pace, then devotees have to satisfy with shower bath instead of holy
dip.
Meanwhile, some officials off the record informed that dip at
Pushkar Ghats in Nalgonda was possible only if Krishna River Management
Board directs officials concerned to maintain the present level of
Srisailan dam for four to five days and by releasing all the inflows of
Srisialam from Jurala to Sagar reservoir so that the water level reaches
the mark of 550 feet.
- With water level at 505 feet in Nagarjuna Sagar reservoir, devotees may have to take shower bath instead of a holy dip during the Krishna Pushkaralu, slated to start from August 12
