IndiaFollowing devastating floods in Nepal that killed over 600 people and left thousands missing, India has increased monitoring of its Himalayan glaciers, particularly those shared with Nepal and China. The floods were attributed to a glacial collapse, which experts believe may be linked to climate change-induced glacier melt. In response, Uttarakhand’s Chief Minister ordered the deployment of advanced sensors and early warning systems in vulnerable glacial regions. Officials identified 13 sensitive glacial lakes in the state, with initial surveys of four already completed. Measures include risk assessment, mapping hazardous zones, improving communication networks, and strengthening emergency preparedness. The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed the disaster was caused by a glacial collapse rather than an earthquake.
