Water Resources Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi on Saturday said that seven crest gates of the Tungabhadra dam were not functioning, sparking panic among farmers and residents in the basin.

Soon after his statement, an expert team was rushed to the site to assess the condition of the dam, even as authorities increased the outflow from 40,000 cusecs to nearly 90,000 cusecs within 24 hours and warned of a possible flood situation downstream.

The development triggered widespread concern among locals, who demanded urgent measures to address the problem. Their concern stems from a similar incident last year when Crest Gate No. 19 broke away after its chain snapped, washing the gate into the river.
