Glacier Collapse Sparks Uttarkashi Floods
A glacier collapse may have triggered recent landslides and flash floods in Uttarkashi, according to experts. They suggest that heavy rainfall loosened debris from a glacier at high altitudes, leading to a disastrous cascade into the Kheer Ganga river. While scientific analysis is still ongoing, the area is known for its glacial activity, raising concerns about future disasters. Past events, like the 2021 Uttarakhand flood, highlight the region's vulnerability. Authorities are still assessing the situation, hoping for clearer insights as weather patterns change.
