Combined release from DVC reduced, hope to be out of danger

DVC reduced its combined release of water from Maithon and Panchet reservoirs at the present rate of outflow @95000 Cusec. Combined release comes to Durgapur Barrage which is not under control of DVC, but by Govt. of West Bengal. Durgapur is not a reservior having capability of mdifying the discharge of DVC. It is a mere barrage. Since there is no significant rainfall in the down Durgapur area, so rate of outflow including combined discharge of DVC will be reduced.
If the situation remains in this way, south Bengal may avoid further danger.
