Sikkim Flood's Aftermath: Rebuilding Dam Amidst Continuing Threats

Imagine a giant lake made of melted ice high in the mountains.

Sometimes, the walls of this lake break, and a huge wave of water rushes down, like a very big flood.

This happened in Sikkim and West Bengal, India, in 2023, when a glacier lake burst.

Many houses and roads were destroyed, and people had to leave their homes.

The problem is made worse because of climate change, which is causing glaciers to melt more quickly and form more lakes.

Even though there is a risk, the government is rebuilding a dam, and local people are finding ways to try and protect their homes.
