Jayakwadi Dam

The seismometer, which helps in measuring the magnitude of an earthquake, and several other key instruments installed at the Jayakwadi dam in Maharashtra's Aurangabad district, have stopped functioning properly, an official said on Sunday.

The Jalna police today arrested two people in connection with the recovery of a headless corpse from a canal of Jayakwadi Dam in Pitora Sirasgaon in Ambad tehsil on June 10, an official said.

The announcement by Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Sunil Tatkare on releasing water to Marathwada from dams in Nashik district has met with criticism not only from Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) but also from the minister's own party Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

Nearly 150 farmers in Maharashtra on Tuesday came out on the state highway connecting Ahmednagar and Manmad in Nashik district to protest against the order of Water Resources Minister Sunil Tatkare to release water from the Bhandardara and Nilwande dams in Ahmednagar so that the Jayakwadi Reservoir in Aurangabad receives water.

In an unprecedented move, cops in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district have been deployed to prevent possible theft of water in drought-affected Marathwada region, after the Bombay High Court ordered release of water to the reservoirs in the area.

Irrigation department on Wednesday released 3 TMC water from Mula dam for Jayakwadi reservoir which supplies water to Marathwada region amid tight police security.
