It was an unexpected big flash flood that swept away 7 bridges, drinking water supply system, irrigation canals and some houses and fortunately there is no loss of life. Different agencies have been asking DHM about the causes and we have to tell them the truth whether glacial lake has bursted or avalanche or anything else in the upstream.
