Delhi-NCR to remain dry as IMD forecasts clear skies; mercury to touch 34 degree Celsius
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS) The national Capital is likely to witness clear skies and relatively pleasant weather on Tuesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a minimum temperature of around 24 degree Celsius and a maximum of nearly 34 degree Celsius. According to the weather agency, Delhi is expected to remain largely dry throughout the day, marking a change from the cloudy conditions and occasional showers witnessed recently. The forecast of clearer skies could provide some relief from the persistent humidity experienced across the city over the past few weeks. The relative humidity is likely to remain around 60 per cent, while weather conditions are expected to be generally comfortable for residents. However, temperatures are likely to rise during the afternoon before easing later in the day. Among the weather stations in the national Capital, Palam is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 23 degree Celsius. Lodi Road and Ayanagar may register minimum temperatures of 24.3 degree Celsius and 24.2 degree Celsius, respectively. The Ridge could witness a comparatively cooler morning, with the minimum temperature expected to settle at around 22.5 degree Celsius. While Delhi-NCR is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, several other parts of the country are expected to experience rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days due to a weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Odisha is likely to witness some of the most intense weather activity as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal becomes more organised. The system is expected to move towards the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast and reach the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal near the coast around the morning of September 23. The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri on September 23. A similar red alert has been issued for Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Rayagada for September 24. Rainfall is expected to remain active across Odisha until September 27, with different districts placed under red, orange and yellow alerts depending on the anticipated intensity of rainfall. Kerala is also likely to experience wet conditions during the week. Light to moderate rainfall has been forecast in several areas between September 21 and 25, while isolated heavy showers are possible in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The IMD has advised residents in areas vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities. Weather activity is also expected to increase across parts of the Northeast and eastern India. Assam and Meghalaya may experience thunderstorms and lightning on September 22, followed by heavy rainfall between September 23 and 25. Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness thunderstorms, lightning and squally conditions on September 22. Heavy rainfall is likely in these areas on September 23 and 24, while very heavy showers are possible on September 25. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see increased rainfall activity from September 24, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions. Similar weather is likely to develop over West Uttar Pradesh from September 25. In contrast, Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, is unlikely to receive significant rainfall on Tuesday. The region is expected to remain predominantly dry as the southwest monsoon continues to withdraw from northwest India. However, weather conditions could become more active towards the end of the week, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi between September 25 and 27. The developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to remain the primary factor influencing rainfall and thunderstorm activity across several parts of the country in the coming days.

Army Mountaineering Expedition summits Mt Khangchengyao in North Sikkim
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 18 (IANS) The Indian Armys mountaineering expedition from the Eastern Commands Spear Corps successfully summited Mt Khangchengyao in North Sikkim on Friday, September 18, 2026. The expedition had been flagged off on August 18, 2026, from Rayang Military Station in Arunachal Pradesh. Mt Khangchengyao, at 6,889 metres, is considered an extremely challenging mountain to climb. It has steep ice walls and unpredictable weather conditions. Mt Khangchengyao is the fourth-highest peak in Sikkim and the tenth-highest in India. In this part of the Himalayan region, locals identify most of the mountains, especially the high peaks, as deities. Peaks are also differentiated by gender. Locals deeply revere Mt Khangchengyao, identifying it as a male mountain. Local legend holds that it gets angry when a woman sets foot near it, and folklore suggests the weather worsens whenever a woman climber approaches the base camp. The mountain has a unique dome-shaped structure without a pointed peak. Its nearly rounded top tapers down its sides at 7580 degree angles, making climbing extremely difficult. Officials said such expeditions help build teamwork and camaraderie among troops while also training them to handle challenges in extreme conditions. Under the aegis of Eastern Command, the Indian Army Mountaineering Expedition team under Spear Corps displayed exceptional courage and successfully summited Mt Khangchengyao (6,889 m), achieving a historic milestone. Defying sub-zero temperatures, treacherous terrain and punishing high altitudes, the team triumphed through sheer physical endurance and flawless camaraderie. This monumental ascent stands as a soaring testament to the indomitable spirit of the Indian Army, proving once again that no height is insurmountable when met with relentless resolve, the Eastern Command posted on X. The Spear Corps, also known as III Corps, is a Mountain (Holding) Corps with troops trained in high-altitude operations. It is headquartered in Dimapur, Nagaland, and is involved in counter-insurgency operations in the northeastern states. It also plays a major role in managing the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China. The Corps also participated in the famous Battle of Walong during the Indo-China War of 1962.

Sikkims sewerage system remains underdeveloped compared to national benchmarks: report
A new baseline study shows the Himalayan State winning on paper while its pipes, plants, and workforce struggle to keep pace
High in the mountains ringing Kashmir, glaciers have spent decades in retreat. What they leave behind isnt empty rock its water. As ice melts back, it pools into glacial lakes, some dammed by nothing sturdier than loose moraine debris. When one of these natural dams gives way from a rockfall, an earthquake, heavy rain, or simply too much meltwater pressure the result is a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood, or GLOF: a wall of water and sediment that can tear through a valley with almost no warning. A comprehensive 2026 survey mapped 155 glacial lakes across the Kashmir Himalaya and found their ice-contact lakes have grown by roughly a quarter since the early 1990s. Five lakes now stand out as carrying very high outburst risk: Bramsar, Chirsar, Nundkol, Gangabal, and Bhagsar all sitting in the Upper Jhelum basin, feeding into the same river system that runs through Srinagar and the Kashmir Valley. Bramsar and Chirsar alone threaten over 400 buildings and five bridges downstream if they were to fail. Gangabal Lake Gangabal sits at 34.4185 N, 74.9365 E in the Upper Jhelum basin, fed by meltwater from the Harmukh glacier. Researchers assessed its hazard using remote sensing, GIS, and dam-break modeling, tracking the Harmukh glaciers area change, ice thickness, mass balance, and surface velocity as the driver behind the lakes growth. The worst-case scenario they modeled is stark: a full breach releasing the lakes entire 73-million-cubic-meter volume, with the dam failing in just 40 minutes and a breach width of 60 meters. Thats the Upper Jhelum basin the same river system that flows through Srinagar absorbing that volume in under an hour, with essentially no natural buffer standing in the way. Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have seen some of the sharpest increases in glacial lake number and size across the Western Himalayas over the past decade, alongside a marked rise in meltwater discharge. Researchers point to elevation-dependent warming high mountains heating faster than the valleys below as the driver accelerating both glacier loss and lake growth. What makes GLOFs especially dangerous isnt just their force but their speed. Populations within 1015 km of a source lake often have almost no lead time to evacuate. A GLOF doesnt just flood it scours valleys, destroys roads and bridges, wipes out farmland, and can render land uninhabitable for years, with ripple effects on both infrastructure and the fragile alpine ecosystems downstream. This isnt theoretical. Recently, a glacier collapse on the NepalChina border sent a wall of ice, rock, and floodwater tearing through the their valley, killing hundreds and leaving thousand missing a brutal, live illustration of exactly the kind of failure Kashmirs own high-risk lakes are being warned about. Early warning systems, better lake monitoring, and evacuation planning are the priorities researchers are pushing for but as of now, Jammu & Kashmir isnt yet included in Indias national GLOF risk mitigation project, which currently covers Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand. That gap is part of why researchers are sounding the alarm now: the lakes are growing, the risk is documented, but the regions dedicated safety net hasnt caught up. I raised this issue in the Assembly last session, and I have put the question again this time the quantum of GLOF threat in Kashmir is among the highest anywhere in the Himalaya. I believe this needs to be studied and acted upon urgently. GLOFs cant always be prevented, but their impact can be reduced. Thats why Ive pushed for an early-warning and alarm system that alerts downstream communities the moment a GLOF or sudden glacial surge is detected upstream giving people the crucial time they need to evacuate and reach safety.

Heavy rain triggers landslides in Sikkims Gyalshing; evacuation on
Digital Desk | Gangtok, Sep 15 (IANS) Heavy rainfall has triggered heightened landslide activity in Sikkims Gyalshing district, particularly at Singlitam and Rimbi, forcing authorities to evacuate 28 houses comprising 128 people from vulnerable locations at Rimbi as precautionary measures, officials said on Tuesday. The Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority (SSDMA) said the landslide incidents have been reported since September 12, affecting residential areas and public infrastructure. The district administration and various line departments are maintaining round-the-clock surveillance while undertaking relief, restoration and safety operations. At Singlitam, seven households directly affected by the landslide have been shifted to a relief centre at Singlitam Ward. More than 33 people, including children and elderly residents, are currently staying at the shelter, where the administration is providing food and other essential supplies. At Rimbi, four houses where 18 people were living were initially evacuated from vulnerable locations, and the families moved to relatives homes. Following heavy rain and flooding on September 14, authorities expanded the evacuation operation, shifting 128 residents from 28 houses to the Rimbi Gram Panchayat Kendra. Officials identified the area around Mandir Point as the main zone of landslide activity. The lower-lying Rimbi Ward remains vulnerable to further slope failures. Debris has accumulated along the NiK Kholsa stream, with water carrying loose material towards Rimbi village. The resulting surge has already washed away an RCC bridge and is obstructing the natural flow of water, raising concerns of sudden debris and water release during intense rainfall. The Rimbi River has also altered its course and is impacting the roadside flank. The state government is working on the construction of a Bailey Bridge at a higher location after the main road was washed away on the night of May 14. Continuous debris clearance and road restoration work are also underway. At Singlitam, lighting has been installed at the affected site to facilitate monitoring during rainfall. A temporary bamboo bridge is scheduled to be constructed from September 15 to improve local movement, while water pipes are being supplied to restore connectivity to the Rimbi relief camp and village water tank. The Rimbi ICDS Centre, located below the expanding landslide zone, was flooded on September 14. Authorities have advised the department to explore shifting the centre to a safer location. Residents have been urged to avoid landslide zones, rivers and streams during heavy rain and immediately report fresh cracks, ground movement, unusual sounds or sudden changes in water flow to authorities.

Govt launches big student-led cleanliness push
Srinagar, Sep 14: Jammu and Kashmir aims to involve nearly 25 to 30 lakh students in a cleanliness campaign, with children being encouraged to become brand ambassadors and take ownership of public spaces, Commissioner and Secretary, School Education Department, J&K, Ram Niwas Sharma, said on Monday. Speaking about the initiative launched by the Housing and Urban Development Department, Sharma said the campaign seeks to involve students, teachers and professors across schools and colleges in promoting cleanliness. He said J&K and Srinagar have historically been known for their natural beauty and pristine surroundings, but the growing arrival of tourists has also highlighted the need to keep public spaces clean. Today's goal is for all our children to become brand ambassadors of cleanliness and start owning public spaces, Sharma said. He said people generally keep their homes clean but often do not show the same sense of ownership towards public spaces and government property. The initiative aims to develop responsibility among students towards their surroundings and public assets. Sharma said there is no reason why Srinagar cannot achieve a better cleanliness ranking than Indore in the coming years. He also stressed the need to protect J&Ks villages, lakes, mountains, rivers and heritage sites. He said J&Ks villages are no less beautiful than those in Sikkim or Meghalaya and can also aspire to become among the cleanest villages. Referring to Meghalaya, Sharma said a village there has been recognised as the cleanest in Asia and asked why J&Ks villages cannot achieve similar recognition. He also called for greater focus on protecting the Jhelum and preserving the regions lakes, mountains and heritage. Sharma said the campaign also promotes the concept of Waste to Wonder and Waste to Wealth, with the aim of turning waste into a useful resource. He said involving students in the cleanliness mission can create a long-term change in public behaviour and strengthen the cleanliness of tourist destinations across J&K. Sharma linked the initiative with the broader vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, saying J&K must develop clean surroundings so that people visiting the region experience well-maintained cities, villages and tourist destinations.

India administers over 80 lakh HPV vaccine doses under national campaign since Feb
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) India has crossed a significant milestone in its efforts to prevent cervical cancer, with over 80 lakh doses of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine administered under the National HPV Vaccination Campaign since its launch in February 2026, an official statement said on Friday. Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Mizoram have achieved 100 per cent coverage of their respective identified target populations, the statement from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said. Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Assam have crossed 90 per cent coverage, while Karnataka has achieved more than 85 per cent coverage. Chhattisgarh, Sikkim, Kerala, Telangana and Odisha have crossed 60 per cent coverage. The nationwide drive, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2026, offers voluntary, singledose HPV vaccination free of cost to 14yearold girls at government health facilities with parental consent. As per Registrar General of India (RGI) 2021 estimates, approximately 1.2 crore girls constitute the annual cohort of 14-year-olds who are expected to benefit from the initiative each year. The progress in Assam and other Northeastern States also demonstrated the role of integrated community health networks and coordinated field-level action in expanding access across geographically diverse areas. Healthcare providers, including paediatricians, gynaecologists and experts from institutions such as AIIMS, along with teachers and frontline health workers including ASHAs and ANMs, have supported awareness and mobilisation efforts across states and districts. The campaign has also leveraged Indias digital health infrastructure through the U-WIN platform, enabling programme managers to monitor vaccination coverage at the district level, identify coverage gaps and missed beneficiaries, and support more effective programme planning and resource allocation. Currently, 87 per cent of upper-middle-income countries, 78 per cent of lower-middle-income countries and 54 per cent of low-income countries have adopted HPV vaccines in their National Immunization Programmes. All vaccination sessions under the campaign are conducted under the supervision of trained medical officers at government health facilities. Government health facilities are also linked with 247 healthcare facilities for appropriate management of rare Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI). This mechanism ensures timely assessment, monitoring and management of any vaccination-related adverse event. With the campaign progressing towards its final phase, the focus remains on reaching the remaining eligible beneficiaries and ensuring that no eligible girl is left behind, the ministry said. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare continues to work closely with States and Union Territories, healthcare professionals, frontline health workers and communities to strengthen awareness, facilitate access and support effective implementation of the HPV Vaccination Campaign, the statement noted.

Three coaches of Mahananda Express derail in Bihar's Arrah, no casualties reported
Arrah (Bihar), Sep 6 (IANS) Three coaches of the Sikkim Mahananda Express derailed on the up line near Bihar's Arrah Railway Station on Sunday morning, triggering panic among railway officials and staff. However, no casualties or passenger injuries were reported in the incident, officials said. The 15483 Alipurduar Junction-Delhi Sikkim Mahananda Express derailed on the up line, approximately 200 metres from platform number two. The train's engine, SLR, and H-1 bogie were reported to have derailed. The incident caused widespread concern, and railway officials and staff immediately rushed to the spot and launched rescue, restoration and repair operations. According to officials, the Mahananda Express had arrived at platform number two of Arrah railway station at 4.12 a.m. on its way to Delhi. It has been reported that a technical problem during the operation of the train resulted in its signal shifting towards the Sasaram line. The train subsequently moved ahead and derailed on the up line at a location approximately 200 metres away from the station. After receiving information about the derailment, railway personnel immediately reached the site and began rescue and restoration work. Teams worked to bring the affected coaches back into position and reassembled the three derailed units, including the engine, SLR, and H-1 coach. Rail operations have been disrupted following the incident, with railway authorities working to assess the condition of the track and signal system before normal train movement can be restored. A railway technical team has reached the site and is currently inspecting the track, signalling arrangements and other relevant railway infrastructure. Officials are also investigating the circumstances that led to the signal shifting towards the Sasaram line and how the train subsequently proceeded in the wrong direction. Railway authorities are working on a war footing to restore normal train operations and clear any disruption caused by the incident. Officials and technical teams are assessing the situation at the site and undertaking the necessary restoration work.

Sikkim has 16 highly-dangerous glacial lakes
Sikkim has identified 40 high-hazard glacial lakes, with 16 at the highest risk of catastrophic outbursts. Following a devastating GLOF in 2023, the state is developing India's first dedicated GLOF Risk Mitigation Protocol, using advanced monitoring and interdisciplinary approaches to protect downstream settlements and serve as a model for other Himalayan regions.

Sikkim identifies 40 high-hazard glacial lakes, 16 at highest risk
The eastern Himalayan state of Sikkim has identified 40 high-hazard glacial lakes, with 16 of them classified as being at the highest risk of catastrophic outbursts that could threaten downstream settlements. The data is significant as it comes against the backdrop of the recent flash flood in Nepal, triggered by a glacial collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26 that left a trail of destruction with hundreds of people dead and scores missing. Though the catastrophe was not linked to a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF), the flash flood has highlighted a broader transformation across the Himalayas as glaciers retreat, new lakes are forming in their place, while existing ones are expanding. Glacial lakes are formed by the melting of glaciers and accumulation of meltwater in depressions on or near the glacier's surface. GLOFs occur when these lakes suddenly burst open due to factors such as excessive water accumulation or triggers like earthquakes. These floods can cause ...
Srinagar, Sep 3: The Centre on Thursday reviewed the preparedness of Jammu and Kashmir and four Himalayan states for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and snow avalanches, focusing on vulnerable sites, early warning, evacuation and response. The meeting came in the wake of the Nepal-Tibet glacier disaster that killed more than 1000 people and left over 2000 missing. Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan chaired the meeting in New Delhi. It was attended by the chief secretaries and State Disaster Management Authorities of J&K, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh. Senior officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, National Disaster Management Authority, Central Water Commission, India Meteorological Department and Defence Geoinformatics Research Establishment also attended. Officials reviewed vulnerable glacial lakes and snow-covered areas, high-risk locations and downstream flow paths, along with alert dissemination, evacuation plans and response resources. The states and J&K presented measures for monitoring vulnerable lakes, mapping flow paths, issuing early warnings, reaching communities and deploying response resources. Mohan said vulnerable glacial lakes and avalanche-prone areas required continuous and proactive monitoring, particularly during periods of heightened risk. He said state agencies, district administrations and scientific and technical institutions must coordinate so warnings are acted upon promptly and effectively. Preparedness for GLOFs and snow avalanches must move beyond response-oriented measures towards risk-informed planning, preventive mitigation and community-level preparedness, Mohan said. The states and J&K were asked to review their plans, identify gaps in warning and evacuation arrangements and address them in advance. Union Home Secretary also directed authorities to expedite GLOF mitigation projects sanctioned by the Centre in 2024. GLOF concerns are no longer confined to the eastern Himalayas. Various recent studies indicate that retreating glaciers and newly formed glacial lakes could increase vulnerability in the central and western Himalayas. The western Himalaya, including Himachal Pradesh, J&K and Ladakh, has recorded rising temperatures and declining snow cover, affecting glaciers and high-altitude water systems. Within J&K, Ladakh and the Chenab valley face greater GLOF concern than the Kashmir valley, particularly in the upper Chenab catchments of Kishtwar and adjoining areas. Retreating glaciers and moraine-dammed lakes in parts of Zanskar, Nubra and Shyok in Ladakh are among the areas of concern. GLOF vulnerability is lower in the Kashmir valley, but studies have found that it remains susceptible to the particular hazard. Experts caution that satellite imagery can track changes in lake size and surrounding terrain, but field investigations are needed to assess the stability of moraine dams and adjoining slopes. GLOFs are distinct from ice-rock avalanches, or glacial-rock collapses, which can occur without a glacial lake. The sudden failure of unstable ice and rock can send large volumes of debris into downstream valleys, making the hazard relevant across the Himalayas including J&K and Ladakh. The distinction is important in the Nepal-Tibet disaster, which was linked to a glacier-rock collapse and debris flow rather than a conventional GLOF. The event also generated a seismic signal equivalent to a magnitude 5.2 earthquake.

SC refuses to alter ECI's decision to keep 2002 base year for Sikkim SIR
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with the Election Commission of India's decision to fix 2002 as the base year for the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Sikkim. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana dismissed a PIL filed by 'Sikkimese Mulniwasi Surakacha Sangh', an NGO, seeking a direction to the poll panel to consider 1993 as the base year instead of 2002 for the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in the state. The bench said, The goal post cannot be shifted in the middle of the exercise. 2002 has been kept as the base year for the entire country. We will not interfere with the decision of the Election Commission of India (ECI). The NGO contended that electorate data added in 2002 do not match with the demographic data of Sikkim and considering 2002 as the base year would lead to further anomalies.
