Sunday morning saw a major cloudburst and a glacier breach in the Indian Himalayas causing chaos as river up the stream get flooded with the glacier, which has broken up two hydroelectric dams in it's path and fears of further tragedies down the stream still remain.
150 feared to be dead till yet

@mur2501 😰 That's horrible news. Best wishes to the search and rescue teams, and for those who will rebuild. 😰

They have only found 10 bodies till yet. Though the water is calm of the foothills of Himalayas so it seems the disaster wouldn't move on downstream much.

@mur2501 So tragic! I'm glad downstream will be spared, but the loss of power will be felt widely as well, I'm sure. :sadness:

@chiasm
If it has reached the Ganges river then it would have been more then a tragedy as more then 500 million people live on the Ganga river basin :blobfoxsnugterrified:
