A glacier burst has been reported near the Sino-Indian border, some media reports quoted an officer of India’s border road task force has been quoted as saying.

Some media reports quoted Colonel Manish Kapil, a commander of the Border Road Task Force, as having placed the location of the glacier burst at Joshimath in Uttarakhand, although there’s no official confirmation.

There is no information on the mishap yet, and this story will be updated when there are more details.

The development comes two months after a major glacier burst in Uttarakhand caused in Chamoli. That incident on February 7 killed over 100 people and has been put down by experts to climate change.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
