The Himalayan region faces a severe crisis, with global warming accelerating glacier melt and urbanization choking its fragile ecosystem. Flash floods, now occurring as frequently as three times in two months, compared to once every ten years previously, are turning roads into raging rivers and homes into rubble. Scientists confirm the rise of glacial origin floods, projected to triple by the century’s end. Unplanned urbanization, replacing forests with concrete, exacerbates the situation, as seen in Uttarakhand with the Tehri Dam’s impact on the Bhagirathi River. Rescue operations are hampered by landslides and inaccessible roads. This escalating devastation is described as a critical warning: "This isn’t weather but a wake-up call." The situation demands urgent action, including investment in early warning and disaster management systems. #himalayas #floods #glaciermelt #itwebvideos #urbanization #climatechange #uttarakhand #landslides #disaster #wakeupcall #indiatoday #flashfloods #environment #naturaldisaster #rescueoperations #glaciallakeoutburst
