APSDMA Launches Flood Risk Awareness for Glacial Lakes in Arunachal's Tawang
The Arunachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA), along with local administration and emergency forces, has launched an awareness and training campaign in Tawang district to address risks from seven high-risk glacial lakes in the Mago Chu basin. These lakes pose flood threats to downstream villages like Duri and nearby Indian Army and Indo-Tibetan Border Police camps. The initiative includes sensitising residents and security personnel on early warning systems, evacuation routes, and disaster response to mitigate potential Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) impacts.
