I just visited the Tehri Dam in Uttarakhand day before . It is magnificent , it is surely a thing of pride and honor for the our country India . It is one of the largest dams of the world , the dam has stopped the water of the bhagirathi river resulting in the rising height of the water , it is about 200m in depth . A whole city is submerged under water , the city named Tehri which was one of the most known cities in the district . There had been a clock tower in the city of Tehri which was one major landmark of the city when the water had been rising people used to go and see how much of the tower is left to be submerged into the water , people had to leave their homes and government gave them new land and a new city named NEW TEHRI was formed but the lives of the people surely did change .Now they had to create a new township and they missed their native place .
LEAVING the sad part behind we must see the positive aspects of it too .The dam generates electricity in huge amounts to many areas , it is produced in huge quantities .The time I had visited the place it was a day before our independence day where there was a lot of security , we could only see it from the car and no photographs could be taken as it is a large large reservoir it needs a lot of security , it was worth it going to Tehri Dam it was surely an awesome experience and I am surely very very obsessed with mountains.
THE SECOND PICTURE IS THAT OF THE CLOCK TOWER BEING SUBMERGED
