Nepal flash floods highlight need for planned settlement, scientific assessments: Experts
New Delhi, Aug 30: The devastating flash floods in Nepal have driven home important lessons of undertaking systematic scientific assessments of glaciers in order to understand and mitigate hazards and to develop a land use policy in the Himalayan region, experts said. Over 460 people from Nepal and Tibet have been killed, and thousands, including Indian tourists, are missing after massive flash floods hit parts of Nepal on Wednesday, wreaking havoc across several towns and villages, washing away critical bridges and crippling a dozen hydropower projects. Initial speculation after a sudden surge near the Nepal-Tibet border crossing in Rasuwagadhi included a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) and an avalanche. However, researchers from the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), based near Kathmandu, are investigating whether an ice-rock avalanche originating from a high-altitude location may have triggered the floods. A large volume of ice and rock debris may have entered the Lende Khola, a tributary of the Bhote Koshi River, which could have generated a sudden surge carrying water, sediment and large boulders downstream, they said, based on a preliminary assessment of video footage and information from affected areas. It is related to climate change because the snow covers are reducing, the glaciers are receding, more rocky or barren areas are exposed -- they absorb more heat, which makes the slopes more vulnerable, Mohd Farooq Azam, senior cryosphere specialist at ICIMOD and associate professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, told PTI. Even though the exact cause is yet to be ascertained, he added, it may be a result of less snow cover, receding glaciers, and some permafrost degradation in the area. Extreme precipitation events, especially heavy snowfall, in the Himalayas only temporarily increase snow accumulation, a study published in Global and Planetary Change has found. Climate change has also contributed to an increase in glacial lakes in Himachal Pradesh, with a recent study, published in the Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, showing an increase of 525 per cent in the lakes between 1990 and 2024, with a doubling in area. Smaller lakes have increased from nine in number to 487. There are different mechanisms through which glacial lakes can form. They may be dammed by moraines, glacier ice, bedrock depressions, or other geomorphological features, author Reet Kamal Tiwari, associate professor and head, department of civil engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Punjab, told PTI. However, the mere presence of a glacial lake does not necessarily mean that it poses an immediate threat to nearby communities, he said. We first need to assess the vulnerability and stability of the lake and identify the possible external triggers that could lead to a sudden release of water. The concern is not simply the increasing number of glacial lakes; it is the combination of increasing hazard potential and increasing downstream exposure, Tiwari said. Triggers may include landslides, intense rainfall, snow or ice avalanches, rockfalls, or the collapse of a hanging glacier, he said. Soniya Rijal, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sydney in Australia, said that a lack of a warning system built only around rain-related events also contributed to the disaster. What this event shows is that our warning systems, formal and informal, are built around rain. I have heard that people in the affected valleys were alerting their neighbours before the water arrived, but because there had been no heavy rainfall, many did not take the warnings seriously, she said. Rijal is from Kathmandu. Azam said, We have very limited data. We need to improve data, the basic understanding on the ground, and develop specific models for the Himalayan region and early warning systems, especially low-cost ones, so that we can install it many places wherever we have hot spots. The flash floods are similar to those in Chamoli, Uttarakhand, when a massive ice and rock avalanche from the Ronti peak triggered a sudden surge of water, impacting the Rishi Ganga, Dhauliganga, and Alaknanda rivers in February 2021. Hydropower projects were severely damaged and about 300 people, mostly workers at the dam sites, were reported killed or missing. Every disaster is unique. First, we need to understand the processes, and then we need to design some mitigation measures accordingly, Azam said. Tiwari said, The first requirement is proper scientific assessment of potentially hazardous glacial lakes and their downstream areas. A proper assessment should examine the lake, its dam and surrounding terrain, possible triggering mechanisms, downstream flow paths, and the settlements and infrastructure that could be affected, he said. Authorities should involve experts with appropriate experience in glaciology, geomorphology, hydrology, remote sensing, geotechnical engineering, and disaster management, Tiwari added. Further, the flash floods drive the urgency of developing land use policies, Azam said. The problem is we are settling very close to the river and sometimes on the river. The urgency is to develop a land use policy, he said. There should be proper planning for the settlement infrastructure development, because these events will happen and we understand that over the last couple of decades, the frequency as well as magnitude of such events have increased, he added. Azam also pointed to how there needs to be an assessment of how the environment can impact infrastructure. When we develop an infrastructure, we have to do environment impact assessment. But now is the time when we need to do environment's impact assessment on the infrastructure, he said. If there is some heavy rainfall, some cloud burst, some glacial lake outburst flood, or something like what happened yesterday, what would be the impact on the settlement and infrastructure? So we don't have this kind of assessment anywhere, Azam said.

Duleep Trophy Semis: East Face Central, North Take On South (Preview)
North East Zone: Eyes will be on teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again when he takes the field in the Duleep Trophy semifinal for East Zone against Rajat Patidar's defending champions, Central Zone, while South Zone will face North Zone in the other semifinal. Both matches are set for Sunday. East Zone won their quarter-final against North East Zone, as all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed starred with both bat and ball to lead the side to an innings-and-210-run win. Shahbaz (167) forged a strong 150-run partnership with the other centurion, Sudip Kumar Gharami (146), to power the Ishan Kishan-led side to a daunting 467. Medium-pacer Abhijit K Sarkar and Shahbaz then plotted the downfall of the North East side, with Abhijit taking 5-20 and Shahbaz 3-20 as they bowled Rongsen Jonathan's team out for 111 and enforced a follow-on. North East Zone again faced the brunt of East Zone's bowlers and were bowled out for 146 in the follow-on, with no one scoring a half-century. Ankulul Roy starred with a five-wicket haul, while Sooryavanshi took two wickets in a surprise move. East Zone won by an innings and 210 runs. However, a much tougher test will await them in the semi-final, when they will face the defending champions at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1. Central Zone have the much stronger personnel, with Patidar leading the way and the likes of Rinku Singh, Harsh Dubey, Yash Thakur and Saransh Jain posing a significant threat. Saransh made his India debut in Colombo against Sri Lanka and will be gunning for success in the domestic circuit. Meanwhile, North Zone, who defeated West Zone in a close quarter-final, will face Tilak Varma's South Zone. Kanhaiya Wadhawan's North Zone defeated the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led West Zone by 52 runs, as Abid Mushtaq and Nishant Sindhu shared six wickets to deny West a chase of 286 on the final day of the quarter-final. North had scored 251 in the first innings after a late-order 60 from Anshul Kamboj, while Mushtaq took a five-for in the first innings, as his team took a 44-run lead. North did enough in the second innings too, as Ayush Badoni hit 50 and Sindhu made 44, taking the team to 222. Mushtaq stood tall once again with the ball, taking 4-60 in the second innings, while Sindhu took 2-59 in a 52-run win. South Zone will pose a significant threat to North's title hopes. The side is led by India T20I vice-captain Varma, while the likes of Smaran Ravichandran, Karun Nair, Shreyas Gopal and Narayan Jagadeesan add strength to the side.

Nepal GLOF tragedy puts spotlight on Kashmirs lagging preparedness
Srinagar, Aug 28:The recent glacial lake outburst flood in Nepal has sharpened focus on vulnerabilities at home. There is a chasm in J&K, between the on-ground preparedness here, compared with other Himalayan states. Five glacial lakes in the Kashmir Himalayas, the Bramsar, Chirsar, Nundkol, Gangabal and Bhagsar, have been classified as having very high susceptibility to Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). This was revealed by a study by Department of Geoinformatics, University of Kashmir, published in the Journal of Glaciology. The lakes, as per the study, threaten roughly 2704 buildings, about 15 major bridges, stretches of road and one hydropower plant in Ganderbal, Shopian, and Kulgam districts. Associate Professor at Department of Geoinfomatics, University of Kashmir, Irfan Rashid, said the lakes are not unstable at present, but nevertheless isky. In a few years, the lakes like Gangabal may be a risk. Gangabal has Harmukh glacier upstream, and it is on a steep slope. In view of disaster like that of Nepal, we must take into account such factors as well, he said. In addition, Rashid said, glacial-lake volume assessment could help in improving data that Government must take into consideration. Our urban planning and disaster mitigation policies need to take into account the environment and geological research carried out by academia here, he said. Rashid said that Chirsar and Bramsar, two glacial lakes in Kulgam district have an ice-contacts - lakes have formed at the terminal point of the glacier. Among lakes in Kashmir, these have the highest susceptibility to GLOF, he said. Earlier this year, a reply to a starred question in the Legislative Assembly had the government acknowledging the findings. The government outlined a roadmap that included continuous remote-sensing and field monitoring, installation of early-warning systems, bathymetric surveys planned for 2026, development of ecozonation plans, and integration of GLOF scenarios into district disaster plans. The work on mountain-specific early-warning prototypes that combine satellite data, field observations and real-time sensors is already underway at University of Kashmir. However, these measures have largely remained on paper only. Many Himalyan states have made progress. Sikkim now has operational water-level sensors, automatic weather stations and Indias first dedicated GLOF early-warning system. This followed the 2023 South Lhonak disaster. Himachal Pradesh has a C-DAC prototype which has been tested at Sissu and is being scaled up. J&K has no real-time monitoring hardware or functional early-warning network. Bathymetric surveys needed for accurate flood modelling are a far call. Dr Rashid said risk mitigation in Himalayas will require study of thousands of lakes. This, he said, is a serious and long-term exercise. The national GLOF Risk Mitigation Programme has initially prioritised Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. Kashmir and Ladakh were added later. While the scientific baseline in Kashmir has a solid scientific strength, the absence of installed sensors, operational alerts and completed field assessments leaves it lagging. This is crucial as climate-driven glacial risks are rising across the Himalayan range.

Dehradun T20 Leagues Goal Is To Provide An Environment That Speeds Up Their Growth: Mahim Verma
Dehradun T20 League: Former BCCI vice-president and former Cricket Association of Uttarakhand secretary Mahim Verma believes the inaugural Dehradun T20 League 2026 will provide a crucial platform for young cricketers in the state, offering them greater exposure and an opportunity to develop in a professional competitive environment. The six-team franchise tournament will be held from September 2 to 9 at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy in Dehradun, featuring Rishikesh Dragons, Doiwala Kings, Mussoorie Thunder, Herbertpur Knightriders, Vikasnagar Dhamaka and Selaqui Strikers. A total of 18 matches will be played during the competition. Verma said one of the league's primary objectives was to bridge the gap between grassroots cricket and the professional game by giving promising players an environment in which they could test themselves under pressure. Our main goal with the Dehradun T20 League is to give our boys the kind of environment that speeds up their growth. Uttarakhand has no shortage of raw talent, but what our young players needed was a high-exposure platform where they could test themselves under pressure, learn professional match standards, and get noticed, Verma said. Navneet Mishra, CEO of the Dehradun T20 League, said organisers had focused on creating a professional ecosystem for players through investment in infrastructure, broadcast facilities and player welfare. We haven't spared any effort in making sure this league matches the highest professional standards in terms of infrastructure, broadcast, and player facilities. Our focus is to create an ecosystem where young athletes feel valued and inspired to perform at their absolute best. Seeing the enthusiasm from players and franchises alike gives us complete confidence that this league will become a cornerstone for cricket development in the region, Mishra stated. According to Verma, one of the key benefits for emerging players will be the opportunity to share dressing rooms and playing environments with experienced domestic cricketers, helping them understand the demands of competing at higher levels. When an 18 or 19-year-old kid shares a dugout with established domestic names, their entire perspective changes. They learn how to handle big-match pressure, how to prepare mentally, and how to carry themselves as professionals. That exposure is priceless, and it will give them the confidence to perform at higher levels of Indian cricket, Verma added. All 18 matches, including 15 league fixtures, two semi-finals and the final, will provide the tournament and its players a wider audience.

Aaryavir Sehwag, Anvay Dravid Picked In India U-19 Squad For Series Against Australia
The Junior Men: Aaryavir Sehwag, son of former India opener Virender Sehwag, and Anvay Dravid, son of former captain and head coach Rahul Dravid, have been named in the India Under-19 squad for the upcoming three-match one-day series against Australia U-19. The Junior Mens Selection Committee, whose term is ending soon, announced the squads for the home assignment, comprising three 50-over matches in Rajkot on September 18, 21 and 23. This is followed by two red-ball multi-day fixtures to be played from September 27-30 in Rajkot and from October 5-8 at Ahmedabads Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground. The 50-over side will be led by Uttarakhand batter Lakshya Raichandani, with Madhya Pradesh batter Yashbardhan Chauhan as his deputy. Chauhan will take over as captain for the red-ball leg, with Raichandani serving as his vice-captain. While leg-spin all-rounder Aaryavir and wicketkeeper-batter Anvay secured places in the 15-member one-day unit, neither is in the squad selected for the two long-format games. Aaryavir is currently playing for West Delhi Lions in the 2026 Delhi Premier League (DPL) and has played only two games so far. Anvay, meanwhile, scored 101 runs in two 50-over games for India U19 on their July tour of Sri Lanka. On that tour, India U19 lost the 50-over series 2-1 but won the red-ball series 1-0.

30 missing a year after Chisoti flash flood
Srinagar, Aug 25:Thirty people remain missing a year after a cloudburst-triggered flash flood swept through Chisoti village in Paddar-Gulabgarh tehsil of Kishtwar district. The disaster left 63 bodies recovered and 127 injured, according to an RTI reply from the Kishtwar district administration provided to Jammu-based activist Raman Kumar Sharma. Of the 30 missing, 27 are yatris and three are local residents. The yatris included people from Jammu and other districts of the Jammu division, Uttarakhand, and Delhi who had travelled to Chisoti for the Chandi Mata Machail Yatra. For their families, a year has brought no closure. We are still waiting for closure, said Pawan Kumar, whose father, Somnath, 50, ran a seasonal tea stall. We havent got any relief yet, he said. Somnath is among the three missing locals. The others are Tulsi Devi, 50, and priest Bodhraj, 79. Tulsi was selling food to pilgrims when the BhotNallah - a tributary of the mighty Chenab river - overflowed. My wife was selling food to pilgrims when the floodwaters came crashing through the village, said her husband, Masti Ram, 55. We waited for months hoping her body would be found. We are yearning to find even a body part so that we can perform her last rituals. Tulsi left behind her 23-year-old son, Mandeep Singh, who has a neurological disability. Bodhraj, a longtime priest at the Kali Mata temple, was leading prayers when the flood struck. He was our caretaker, protector, and spiritual guide, said his granddaughter, Priya, 20. We only want to find him so we can cremate him with full honour. Otherwise, our souls will never rest. SashastraSeemaBal Head Constable HussanDass of Jammu lost seven family members. Only his wifes body was recovered. I desperately tried to contact my family, but their phones were switched off, Dass told media personnel. SDRF, NDRF, and SSB teams searched for more than a month but found no trace of the others. Sonu Kumar lost his wife, son, and daughter. Initially, we held on to the agonising hope that they might still be found alive, he said. As the days passed, that hope slowly faded. Kumar said death certificates were issued for his missing family members, but compensation had not been released. Chisoti, 15 km from Gulabgarh-Paddar and 85 km from Kishtwar, serves as the base camp for the Chandi Mata MachailYatra, which draws more than 2 lakh devotees annually. Hamori, surrounded by six Buddhist-dominated villages, is the last motorable point- 6 kms from Chisoti, with Machail another 6 km ahead. Yatris cross a bridge, travel 5 km by dirt road, and trek another 6 km to Machail. The yatra is also a key source of livelihood. Residents run food stalls and ferry yatris on motorcycles. On August 14, 2025, about 2500 yatris were in Chisoti when the flood struck at 12:38 pm and nearly 15,000 had set out for the yatra. The torrent tore through the village, destroying homes, shops, a langar, and a security outpost. Survivor Sawant Singh said the force of the Chenab and its tributaries made recovery difficult. The Chenab and its tributaries are so ferocious that once they wash someone away, it becomes extremely difficult to recover the body, he said. You may find a body or its fragments in the first day or two. After that, the chances become very slim. Locals said some fragmented remains were recovered, but many victims were never found. The administration sanctioned Rs. 2.52 crore in exgratia relief for families whose relatives bodies were recovered, according to the RTI reply. A year later, families of the 30 missing continue to wait for their loved ones remains and closure.
