The Brahmani River in Talcher has dried up, leading to a severe water crisis across 26 colonies. Since Samal Barrage has not released water for two days, the Lingaraj coal mine's water supply system has collapsed. Out of the required 68.2 million liters daily, only 16.4 million liters are being supplied. This has affected over 1.15 lakh residents, leading to public protests at the water supply office. Authorities cite the low river level and water theft from pipes as major reasons for the shortage. https://sambad.in/state/the-brahmin-river-has-dried-up-12049195 #creator program
