Overflow and rain from the Lhonak lake resulted in one of the region’s worst floods in over 50 years.
Officials from the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal were reportedly working to reconcile the official death toll and eliminate double counting.
The floods triggered by torrential rain and overflow from the Lhonak lake were among the region’s worst in more than 50 years, washing away homes and bridges in the northeastern state of Sikkim, wedged between Bhutan, China, and Nepal. “We have not called off the rescue efforts, but after two weeks it will be a miracle ,” said state official Anil Rai.
As climate change warms high mountain regions, many communities face the risk of dangerous glacial lake outburst floods.
