The Halali reservoir is a reservoir in Madhya Pradesh state of India, spanning Bhopal, Raisen, and Vidisha districts. It is built on the Halali River, and lies 40 km northwards from the state capital Bhopal. [2]
The major fish species found in the reservoir include catla, rohu, mrigal, wallago attu, mystus and chitala. [1]
The Halali River is a tributary of the Betwa River. It was formerly known as Thal River. In the 18th century, Dost Mohammad Khan's forces killed a rival Rajput force near Jagdishpur (later renamed to Islamnagar) on the bank of the river. The river was renamed to " Halali river" (the river of slaughter), because it appeared red with the blood of the victims. [3] Another name for the river is Banganga.[ citation needed]
The Halali reservoir was commissioned in 1973. [1]
