International Rivers expresses our sorrow and regret over the tragic loss of life and destruction in a disastrous flash flood affecting the Chamoli district and other parts of India’s Uttarakhand state on 7 February 2021. A wall of water and debris swept through the Himalayan valley and overtopped two hydropower dams, leaving at least 175 people missing and 31 feared dead. Local activists fear that additional people, such as informal labourers at dam construction sites, may be unaccounted for.
