Himachal Pradesh Deploys GLOF Early Warning System at Geepang Gath Glacier
Himachal Pradesh has deployed a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) early warning system at the Geepang Gath Glacier in Lahaul-Spiti district, situated around 4,100 metres above sea level. This initiative aims to shift disaster management from reactive response to proactive, science-based monitoring amid climate change-driven glacier retreat. The expanding glacial lake poses risks to downstream communities like Sissu, prompting enhanced surveillance and preparedness to protect lives and livelihoods in the Himalayan region.
