Amid claims by villagers that an embankment of the Masalga dam in Nilanga tehsil of Latur has developed a crack, the authorities in Maharashtra on Monday said all fears of a breach were unfounded and asked people not to believe in "false information".
Recently, some villagers had uploaded photographs of a wide crack on the embankment of the dam in Maharashtra on social media, with several netizens claiming the storage capacity was 100 per cent, which could lead to a breach that may inundate nearby areas.
