Gwalior, July 26 (ANI): Heavy downpour has led to a rise in water level of Harsi dam in Gwalior District of Madhya Pradesh, disrupting normal life and forcing people to use boats and tubes.

The overflowing of water from Harsi dam has raised the water level of Parvati river, thus marooning the people of nearby villages.

Normal life has been disrupted, as people are not able to move out.
