Bridge swept away as melting glacier causes flooding in Pakistan – BBC News

Spread The Viralist



Pakistan’s climate minister has said that a summer heatwave, which has come months earlier than usual, has been melting glaciers in the Himalayas.

The melting has caused flooding which swept away a large bridge in the town of Hasanabad after what’s known as a glacial lake outburst.

Though heatwaves are a common occurrence in Pakistan, they have come earlier than usual this year across South Asia and reached record levels.

Some regions hit temperatures above 40C (104F), causing power and water shortages.

  2. INCREASE AND REINFORCE THE RIVERS, CANALS ETC. REPAIR AND BUILD PROPER LARGE SEWERAGE AND HARD WATER UNDERGROUND PIPELINES! REPAIR AND MANAGE THE ELECTRIC GRIDS WITH SAFER AND PERMANENT POWER LINES, THEN REBUILD THE ROADS OVER THEM. These safety guidelines are the government's responsibility but are neglected. we hope much is learned from this catastrophe as it is intended by nature and God.

  3. Maybe replanting trees at places near the deserts, before the desert were forests, trees have been taken away. Trees are good to control climate. Also irritating drying areas, can help, making stream of rivers deeper and making channels to drying areas

  5. So… am I understanding this correctly? The mass flooding was caused by climate change. Wealthy countries are the biggest contributors to climate change. And poor countries are the ones that suffer the vast majority of the destructive and deadly consequences.
    Something is not right here. Sadly, that is nothing new.

  6. The foreign minister of Pakistan said it was monsoon for 2 months nothing about global warming glacier melt crisis. I guess your audience needs to hear global warming to confirm their obsessions

  7. وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِۦ فَحَاسَبْنَـٰهَا حِسَابًۭا شَدِيدًۭا وَعَذَّبْنَـٰهَا عَذَابًۭا نُّكْرًۭا —– And how many a city was insolent toward the command of its Lord and His messengers, so We took it to severe account and punished it with a terrible punishment.
    Surah Al Talaq 65:8

  8. Pakistan has the opportunity to build dams but they show interest in building dollars and fill Swiss accounts. There is no reason for them to be interested in the lives of Pakistani people, if anything is important to them, it is foreign funding.
