Himalayan flood crises linked to geological instability, climate change: Professor Ravindra Khaiwal

Nepal's flood crises stem from geological instability and climate change, not just rainfall. The Bhotekoshi flood disaster has claimed 626 lives and left 2,426 people missing. Rescue teams have evacuated over 2,200 people, including foreign nationals, by helicopter and ground. India has provided significant relief and rescue support, sending medical and tunnel rescue teams. Numerous government personnel are among those reported missing in the devastating floods.
