In northern India, at least 14 people were confirmed dead, and over 150 are missing and feared dead, after part of a glacier broke off in the Himalayas, triggering a flood of water, rock and mud that collapsed a hydroelectric dam. Himalayan glaciers are rapidly melting due to global heating. Environmental groups have warned against building power projects in the area, which is vulnerable to landslides and flooding.
