Glacier collapse or lake burst likely caused Dharali destruction: Experts
Tuesday, 5 August 2025 ()
Experts suspect a glacier collapse or glacial lake breach, not a cloudburst, caused the devastating flash flood in Dharali village, Uttarkashi. Minimal rainfall was recorded, leading scientists to investigate a potential avalanche or lake burst upstream. Satellite images reveal glaciers and glacial lakes above the site, raising concerns about a sudden water release similar to the Raini disaster.
