Chandil Industry And Climate Risks In India
Chandil Dam in Saraikela Kharsawan district, Jharkhand, India, on August 25, 2025, opens 11 radial gates to release rising water following continuous rainfall. Five gates open by 2.5 meters and six gates by 1.5 meters as the dam water level reaches 181.22 meters. Rising levels of the Subarnarekha River affect surrounding villages, including displaced communities in Ichagarh, and increase flood risk in Jamshedpur. The district administration activates the disaster control room and warns residents to avoid riverbanks and low-lying areas. (Photo by Yousuf Sarfaraz/NurPhoto)
