Answer»

At least 15 persons have been killed and over 150 are MISSING after a portion of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday, triggering an avalanche and a deluge in the Alaknanda river system.

The sudden flood in the middle of the day in the Dhauli Ganga, Rishi Ganga and Alaknanda rivers — all intricately linked tributaries of the Ganga — triggered widespread panic and large-scale DEVASTATION in the high mountain areas.

Two power PROJECTS – NTPC’s Tapovan-Vishnugad hydel PROJECT and the Rishi Ganga Hydel Project – were extensively damaged with SCORES of labourers trapped in tunnels as the waters came rushing in.
