Mirpur-Kotli Road not a part of Mangla Dam

Mangla Dam is safe, functioning as usual

 

September 9, 2022: During the routine monitoring of Mangla Reservoir periphery, some cracks have been observed in Mirpur-Kotli Road near main gate of New Mirpur City. Initially, this was a single lane road, which was later on converted into a dual carriage way by Highway Department, Government of AJ&K. Mirpur-Kotli dual carriage way passed through the periphery of Mangla Reservoir and never has been a part of Mangla Dam, as is misunderstood. Mangla Dam is safe and is performing satisfactorily. 

As reported, Mirpur administration is looking into the matter and taking measures in this regard.
