However, the spillways were closed after the dam\u2019s water level reached the prescribed limit of <strong data-start=\"508\" data-end=\"522\">1,747 feet<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"855\">According to the district administration, the spillways were opened at <strong data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"607\">6:00 am<\/strong> under the supervision of the <strong data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"675\">Assistant Commissioner Secretariat<\/strong>. The release operation continued for approximately <strong data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"752\">five and a half hours<\/strong>, after which the spillways were closed once the water level stabilised at the maximum permitted level.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"1219\">The Islamabad district administration stated that all necessary precautionary measures were taken before opening the spillways to ensure public safety and prevent any untoward incident.
