An Arunachal Pradesh MP has drawn attention to rising glacier‑lake outburst flood (GLOF) risks and the need for better flood management as part of a broader Himalayan water crisis.
In a recent session, a Member of Parliament from Arunachal Pradesh raised concerns about escalating glacier‑lake outburst flood (GLOF) risks in the Himalayas, linking them to the broader water crisis affecting the region.
The MP highlighted that melting glaciers and rising temperatures are increasing the volume of water stored in glacial lakes, making sudden releases more likely and threatening downstream communities.
He urged the central government to strengthen flood‑management infrastructure, conduct regular risk assessments, and coordinate with state agencies to mitigate potential disasters.
