A road constructed by piling stones and soil has been reported to block the main channel of the Kerwa Dam’s river in the Samaskhar‑Mittukhedi area of Bhopal. Residents claim that the encroachment has disrupted the natural flow of water and may affect the dam’s water management.
The local collector has been notified of the illegal construction and is expected to investigate the matter. Authorities have not yet issued a statement on the potential environmental or safety implications.
The Kerwa Dam, located in the Bhopal district of Madhya Pradesh, is a key source of water for the region. Any obstruction in its river channel could have downstream effects on irrigation and drinking water supply.
Local residents have urged the authorities to take swift action to remove the road and restore the river’s natural course. The collector’s office has promised to review the complaint and coordinate with relevant departments.
