Bhutan Glacial Lake Outburst | Flash Flood Warning For Assam, Bengal; Evacuations Begin
A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in Bhutan has triggered flash flood warnings for downstream areas in Assam and West Bengal. Overflowing water from a high-altitude lake in Bhutan's Lim Tang region is flowing towards the Mo Chhu and Sankosh river systems, raising concerns in neighbouring Indian districts. Authorities have sounded alerts, with evacuation efforts underway in vulnerable areas. Residents along the riverbanks, particularly in North Bengal's Alipurduar and Assam's Kokrajhar, have been urged to remain vigilant.
