"Deadly Glacial Lake Burst in India: Dozens Killed and Over 100 Missing"
Heavy rain in India's northeast caused a glacial lake to burst, resulting in flash floods that killed at least 14 people and left over 100 missing in the state of Sikkim. The floods washed away roads, bridges, and a major hydropower project, while also damaging drinking water supplies and sewage treatment plants. Rescue and restoration operations are underway, but efforts are hampered by incessant rains and flooding. The incident highlights the vulnerability of the Himalayan region to the climate crisis, with scientists warning that extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense.
