Glacial lake outburst in Bhutan: North Bengal on red alert as flood threat looms
A glacial lake outburst in Bhutan has triggered a flash flood, sending large volumes of water downstream through the Mo Chhu river towards the Sankosh river and prompting authorities in West Bengal to sound a high alert across North Bengal. More than 10,000 people have been moved to shelters and safer locations as disaster response teams prepare for possible flooding.
