The August 2026 flood in Nepal caused widespread devastation, including the destruction of seven hydropower plants, 109 bridges, and 69 km of roads. The event also displaced thousands of people and disrupted trade routes. Indian Himalayan states face similar risks, as evidenced by past events like the 2021 Chamoli disaster and the 2023 South Lhonak Lake outburst in Sikkim, which destroyed the Teesta III dam. The increasing frequency of such events due to climate change poses a significant threat to lives, infrastructure, and economic activities in the region.
