Why the Nepal floods are a warning for the Himalayas, and India
The recent flash floods in Nepal's Bhotekoshi-Trishuli river have claimed over 350 lives, highlighting the Himalayan region's vulnerability to such disasters. Similar past events in India, like Kedarnath and Chamoli, were caused by glacial lake breaches or ice blocks falling into rivers. Experts warn that these cascading disasters could become more frequent due to climate change.
