New Delhi. The death toll in the devastating flood that occurred in Nepal on August 26, 2026 has now increased to more than 1100. The number of missing people is also above 4000. Now a report has said that before the catastrophic floods in Nepal's Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers, satellite images had shown that cracks were forming in the glacier. Due to these cracks, a large part of the glacier fell into the river and caused floods.
HIRISK report states that early warning systems for disaster have been installed in this area. Who keep an eye on many glaciers and the lakes formed from them in China. Despite this, EWS system has not been installed here to obtain advance information about the dangers posed by glaciers. The report said that if these systems were in place, it would have taken less time than the traditional warning method. Which would have provided an opportunity to save the people present at the Nepal-China border check post in Rasuwagadhi. Also, people living near rivers in Nepal would get flood warning in 10 minutes or more. Many people could have saved their lives by this.
The report said that due to the fall of the glacier the ground shook with a magnitude of 4 or more. It has been suggested that in future, earthquake measuring instruments will be installed in large numbers in the entire area. So that a warning can be given when such a situation occurs. Due to floods in Nepal, many villages, bridges, dams of hydroelectric power projects and roads have been destroyed. Rehabilitating villages and rebuilding infrastructure in affected areas will require a lot of time and money. India is helping Nepal right now. Apart from this, India is also going to play a big role in reconstruction and resettlement of people in the disaster affected areas. Many people from India also went missing in the Nepal floods. 163 Indians have been rescued from flood affected areas. At the same time, 151 Indians stranded in China are being brought back.
