Ropar, September 29 

A blackout was declared at the Bhakra dam as well as the Nangal dam as part of the internal security mechanism developed for the dam- a vital installation in the border state. Sources say that a meeting of top officials was held today, and as is customary. The BBMB management decided to observe a complete blackout at the  dam.  Police officers visited Bhakra to assess the security there, the sources said.

BBMB chairman SK Sharma said the security arrangements at all dams were being reviewed considering the threat perception due to the tension with Pakistan. — TNS
