At least 7 glacial lakes in Tawang face burst risk

The programs teach communities where these risky lakes are, how a glacial lake outburst flood, or GLOF, happens, and why quick evacuations matter.
Senior Consultant Dr Bhupen Mili has been breaking down the science behind GLOFs, while Deputy Director, SDMA, Dorjee Khandu is pushing for better early warning systems so people can act fast if needed.
