SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 6, 2023 | SaltWireKOLKATA/NEW DELHI -At least 40 people were killed after a glacial lake burst its banks and triggered flash floods this week in the Indian Himalayas, government officials told Reuters on Friday as rescuers searched for dozens missing for a second day.
Authorities in Sikkim said the latest disaster, which came ahead of a popular festive and tourism season in the scenic state, had impacted the lives of 22,000 people. Scientists and government authorities were working on an early warning system for glacial floods at Lhonak Lake which could have given people more time to evacuate if fully operational, officials involved in the project told Reuters.
Photos and videos on social media showed roads and pathways covered with silt and stones, vehicles stuck and small, muddy streams flowing by hillsides. One mortar shell was picked up by people in a neighbouring district in West Bengal state which later exploded, killing one child and injuring six people, local lawmaker Pradeep Kumar Barma told ANI news agency.
