Orissa governor M C Bhandare has sought a report from the state government on the alleged water "mismanagement" at Hirakud dam that led to a high flood in the Mahanadi delta region, official sources said.
Bhandare's note to the state goverment came in the wake of media reports on the alleged violation of Rule Curve meant for proper management of water in Hirakud reservoir.
Though the state government receivedthe governor's note, Bhandare was yet to get a reply.
"Yes, the governor has sought a report on the alleged mismanagement of water in Hirakud reservoir. The governor has suggested constitution of a committee with some members from the central water commission (CWC) to verify the truth behind the allegation regarding violation of Rule Curve," a senior official at the water resources department said.
