At least four persons were killed while two remain missing after a portion of a small dam collapsed and triggered a flash flood in Chhattisgarh’s Balrampur district, officials said on Wednesday (September 3, 2025).
Abhishek Gupta, Sub Divisional magistrate (Balrampur), told The Hindu that the complaint about the four-decade-old Luti reservoir, located in Dhaneshpur village of the North Chhattisgarh district, was received late Tuesday (September 2, 2025) night after heavy rainfall in the region and rescue and search operations have been underway since then.
