Disaster officials in India have said that at least 68 people are still unaccounted for, following the deadly incident where a wall of icy water swept away a Himalayan town and buried it in mud last week.
An official from the National Disaster Response Force in India, Gambhir Chauhan, said this Tuesday that they are still searching for corpses in the wreckage, using sniffer dogs to sniff for corpses and ground-penetrating radar.
The local government says the 68 people still missing, include 44 Indians and 22 Nepalis, with nine soldiers are on the list.
Climate change experts says the disaster is a “wake-up call” to the effects of global warming.
No official cause of the flood has been given, but scientists have said it is likely that intense rains triggered a collapse of debris from a rapidly melting glacier.
