Climate change, pollution, construction: multiple whammy to fuel more Sikkim-like disasters, warn scientists
Sunday, 22 October 2023 Scientists warn that the Himalayas are at risk of more glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) due to climate change, construction, and pollution. Sikkim, which recently experienced flash floods, is not the only vulnerable region; Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir are also susceptible. Factors contributing to GLOFs include melting glaciers, earthquakes, and black carbon emissions. Climate change is causing glacier wastage and extreme weather conditions, increasing the frequency of GLOFs.

As Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh election results reaffirmed BJP and SKM's grip, a larger question looms - the racial divide plaguing the Northeast. We discussed this pressing issue with Hon. Advocate Hriata Chhangte, exploring the roots of discrimination based on language and complexion. He shed light on the deep-seated biases and proposed measures to bridge the great divide. With diverse communities calling the region home, can the new governments take concrete steps to foster inclusivity and harmony? The Northeast eagerly awaits a resolution to this long-standing challenge.

India has taken a tit-for-tat step in response to China by approving the renaming of 30 places in Tibet. This move is seen as a strong rebuttal to China's decision to rename places in Arunachal Pradesh. The renaming initiative by the Indian government comes in the wake of heightened tensions between India and China, particularly following the violent clash in the Pangong Tso area in eastern Ladakh on May 5, 2020. Since then, the two nations have engaged in 21 rounds of military talks to address the standoff but are yet to reach a comprehensive resolution.
