RANGAMATI, Sept 19, 2025 (BSS) - The 16 spillways of the Karnaphuli Hydroelectric Power Station were closed this morning following a return to normal water levels in Kaptai Lake.

Engineer Mahmud Hasan, Manager of the power station, confirmed to BSS that the spillways were shut at 8:00 am after monitoring indicated that the lake's water level had stabilized at 108.22 feet above mean sea level, below the designated danger mark.

The spillways had been opened on September 8 at 2:30 pm for the third time this season, initially releasing six inches of water. As water levels continued to rise, submerging adjacent areas, the discharge was gradually increased to a peak of 3.5 feet.
