Environmentalists are questioning the viability of large infrastructure projects in the Himalayan mountains after part of a glacier collapsed onto a hydroelectric dam in northern India on February 7.
At least 58 people are dead and nearly 150 missing in the Rishiganga valley – most were working on hydroelectric power plants.
Activists say further development, coupled with climate change, could be a recipe for more disasters.

Are they to go without power?
The mighty Himalaya on a course of rampage. Karma? Possibly!
The secret mission story held by CIA and I B in 1965 on Nanda Devi and lost plutonium rod threating danger..
look at the hypocrisy of Aljazeera when china build those infrastructures its brings nature back and India do so its global warming 1st build toilets all those things
Just so we are clear. Did the dam collapse onto a glacier or the glacier collapsed on to the dam? Because if it's the first one, it's India's fault, if it's the second, climate change global warming by the whole world.
Contraction has nothing to do with this flood it's Himalaya my dear not normal small mountain those kind of flood landslides earthquake is normal
Those so called environmentalists and journalist appreciated china when they build dam hydropower plants, roads, bridge Road tunnels by saying china upgrading their infrastructure and new milestone in engineering by questioning India they say when India is going to build those things people are suffering India is to late now government is sleeping bla bla rubbish and full of nonsense thats what I called hypocrisy
They use any means necessary to improve the economy, since the rapid growth of Indian population requires more mouths to feed

Thank you al Jazeera
This is a small case in India. It is also a true event, so many indian channels will not be interested in reporting as they are only interested in fake ones.
Ban stupid religion
This happens when uneducated idiots governs India
As part of the democratic country, india needs to stop building polluting factories and any infrastructure that can be harmful to the world
Well need to build road just in case if Chinese attack
But every year their are floods…
We will construct dams, roads and each and every thing in our country have guts stop it 😂
It has nothing to do with infrastructure. These things are normal in mountains. The country needs infrastructure to progress.
Disaster like these are common in third world countries and failed regimes like India!!
WION like propaganda and fake news channels will be obsessed about fake propaganda against China and Pakistan Instead of focusing on failed regime India internal failures.🤭🤭😏😏😏
Where is the trees?
Three million gods vs. one fragile environment…
needless to say who is winning the battle of glacial real-estate!
There are lot of vehicles autorickshaw in india but uninsured no safe travel
Al jihaad channel
According to indian media, Pakistan's long-arm done this.
Couldn't of happened to a nicer country
Oiii Gandu Al – Jihadi, India is quite big. Why this mf foreign media keep trying to generalise all entire India through few incident which often happens in India one way or another..?? it's quite huge and diverse, it's not Qatar
Uga buga India bad
Visionary leader Modi is improving roads and infrastructure, it's not for religion
STAY STRONG INDIAN BROTHERS
