The nearly 60-year-old Rana Pratap Sagar dam, Jawahar Sagar dam and Kota Barrage dams, built on the Chambal River often referred to as <always blue> have become old and dilapidated.
Out of the total 21 gates of Rana Pratap Sagar (Rawatbhata), Rajasthan's largest dam, 17 are large, and 4 are sludge gates. These 4 sludge gates have not been opened in 37 years. There isn't even a wire rope to open the dilapidated sludge gates, and there is continuous leakage, with smelly water coming through.
Drinking water for the Rawatbhata area is supplied near these gates. Before conducting the health checkup of the gates, it was suggested that underwater videography is necessary to assess and repair the dams' structural integrity.
One gate of the Rana Pratap Sagar Dam has previously gotten stuck. A proposal has been made to open the four sludge gates using hydraulic technology, but the work has yet to begin.
This year, too, the sludge gates will remain closed because no executive agency is willing to work underwater.
