Larji Hydropower Project Protected from Floods by Preventive Measures

Larji Hydropower Project Protected from Floods by Preventive Measures

The Larji Hydropower Project in Himachal Pradesh was in danger from floods, like the one that caused a shutdown and cost money in 2023.

To prevent this from happening again, the government and HPSEBL took action.

They installed flood gates to protect the project from the Beas river.

They also made sure to quickly remove any water that leaked into the powerhouse.

Extra staff were also assigned to increase security.

This plan worked, and the power plant stayed open even when a lot of dirt and mud came in during the August 26 floods.

The Chief Minister was happy with these efforts and wants them to keep going.

The staff and engineers were congratulated for their hard work.
