At least 50 people have died and 142 persons remain missing in the devastating flash floods in Sikkim, which was triggered by glacial burst on the South Lhonak lake on Wednesday morning.
The bursting of the South Lhonak glacial lake swelled up the mighty Teesta River that washed away everything in its path on Wednesday morning as people ran for their lives, leaving everything behind.
The flash floods originated from the lake that coursed through the river Teesta on Wednesday, causing widespread damage downstream, destroying the 1,200 MW Teesta Urja dam, and leaving at least 14 dead and over 120 people missing.
