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 what the hell happened all of a sudden?
@seek
An avalanche on the Himalayas making all the rivers originating there to flood. These river are the sources for the Ganges river which is a very major river of South Asia
@seek
It seems to be in control now as the water get's dispersed in the tributaries.
But it's still mysterious how did a glacier breach happened in winter 🤔
@floof-rocks
Glacier by definition is an ice flowing under it's own stress
Also glacier breach here refers to large water body contained in the glacier which outbursts when the glacier breaks.
@seek
@floof-rocks

Though the latest one said that a big chunck of glacier broken from the main and fell into a lake or water body or something 🤔
