Gandhinagar : The state govt has granted in-principle approval for a Rs 581 crore fish-scale weir dam across the Banas river near Mahadeviya village in Banaskantha district.

The proposed structure will be 500 metres wide and feature seven stepped levels to store surplus water released from the Dantiwada and Sipu dams. The reservoir will extend up to 2.72km upstream, while a 4,795-metre embankment will be built along the river’s northern bank, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.
