Bhutan Glacial Lake Outburst: Why Are Indian States On Alert? | NewsX Deepdive

Описание: A Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) at Sintaphu Lake in Bhutan has triggered flood alerts in parts of Northeast India and North Bengal. The Central Water Commission warned of a possible sudden rise in water levels along the Sankosh River, particularly in Assam’s Dhubri district and West Bengal’s Alipurduar district. Authorities have been monitoring vulnerable riverbank settlements and coordinating disaster-response measures. But what causes a glacial lake to burst? How can a flood originating in Bhutan affect Indian states? And are climate change and rising Himalayan temperatures increasing the risks?
