Nepal floods: The red flags in dam-building in the Himalayas
A glacier collapse near the China-Tibet border caused floods in Nepal, resulting in over 734 deaths and 3,000 missing, including 320 Indians. Experts warn that infrastructure development and tourism exacerbate the region's vulnerabilities, highlighting the need for improved disaster mitigation strategies. Continued climate change threatens to increase these risks further in the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.
