Landslide and Flood in  India

Part of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district on February 7th, 2021, triggering an avalanche that struck the Rishiganga Hydroelectric Dam. The collision at the dam and influx of water caused a surge of floodwater along the Dhauliganga river.

Dozens of villages along the river have been evacuated, and rescue operations are underway to free people trapped at the dam or elsewhere in the flood's path, but more than a hundred people have been confirmed lost with their current status unknown. Rescue efforts are ongoing.
