The Solai Dam tragedy that killed 47 people could have been averted had owners reinforced an embankment where cracks had opened, a report says.
The preliminary report by a multi-agency team ordered by the Interior ministry said heavy rains only worsened the situation before the tragedy happened.
“There was clear evidence the earth wall of the dam had started failing much earlier yet no attempt was made to rectify the situation,”the report says.
