Observing that heavy inflows at the Bhakra dam last year due to the melting snow had caused floods in the state, the Chief Minister said several proactive measures have been taken this year. The BBMB was asked to increase the outflow to create a flood cushion and the governments of Haryana and Rajasthan were also requested to do the same, he said, adding that as a result, outflows had increased to 30000 cusecs two months back and the reservoir level stood at 1335 ft,, which is more than 20 feet lower than last year.
