Third Check Dam Collapses in Manair
A big dam in the Manair River broke this week.
It's the third dam to break in less than a month.
People think someone might have broken it on purpose to steal sand.
The dam was built in 2021 and cost a lot of money.
Officials are investigating to find out what happened.
Police are also there to keep things safe.
Some people want a big investigation to find out if the dam was built badly or if someone did something wrong.
A 120-metre stretch of a check dam collapsed in Adavisomanpalli village, Manthani mandal, Karimnagar district.
This is the third check dam collapse in the Manair River in less than a month.
The dam, built in 2021 at a cost of ₹40 crore, collapsed despite relatively low water flow.
Locals and officials suspect sabotage or substandard construction as the cause of the collapse.
A high-level inquiry has been requested, and heavy police deployment has been made to secure the area.
