A cloudburst dropped a huge amount of rain over a short period on the Lhonak glacial lake.
NEW DELHI: At least 14 people were killed and 102, including 22 army personnel, were missing in northeast India on Thursday after heavy rain caused a glacial lake to burst its banks, triggering flash floods down a mountain valley, officials said.
“The search operations are being undertaken under conditions of incessant rains, fast-flowing water in Teesta river, roads and bridges washed away at many places,” a defence spokesperson said on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter. The state disaster management agency said 26 people were injured and 102 were missing, as of early Thursday. Eleven bridges were washed away.
The weather department has warned of landslides and disruption to flights as more rain is expected over the next two days in parts of Sikkim and neighbouring states.
