150 feared dead as Himalayan glacier crashes into dam in northern India

As many as 150 people are feared dead in north India after a Himalayan glacier broke and crashed into a dam early on Sunday. The broken dam prompted a deluge of water to pour through a valley in the state of Uttarakhand, forcing the evacuation of villages. At least three bodies have been found. PM Modi said he was monitoring the situation. The country’s air force joined the rescue operations.
