The flash floods in Nepal have resulted in significant loss of life and property, with 626 fatalities and 2,426 people still missing, including foreign nationals and Nepali citizens abroad. The disaster has also affected hydropower projects, with 933 workers reported missing. The risk of similar events in India’s Himalayan region remains high, as glacial lakes continue to pose threats. Without faster implementation of mitigation measures, both India and Nepal could face recurring disasters, endangering lives and critical infrastructure.
