Read our privacy policy At least 18 people are dead and more than 200 have been reported missing after a Himalayan glacier collapsed and unleashed a devastating flood in northern India’s Uttarakhand state. The flood was triggered on Sunday morning after debris from a glacier collapse burst open a dam and flooded a valley, destroying bridges, roads and two hydroelectric power plants in Uttarakhand, near India’s border with Tibet, an area which is prone to flash floods and landslides. "As of now, around 203 people are missing," state chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said. "My thoughts are with the people of India and rescue workers in Uttarakhand as they respond to devastating flooding from the glacier collapse," said UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a tweet.
