Sikkim has 40 dangerous glacial lakes, 7 labeled high-risk
In Sikkim, the National Disaster Management Authority has spotted 40 high-hazard glacial lakes, seven of which are considered highly risky. To minimize the danger posed by these lakes, officials have suggested three steps: employing solar-powered pumps to decrease water levels, building a stone-masonry retention structure, and constructing a safety wall to control water flow. This development follows the recent flash floods in Nepal.
