Chinese emergency services said on Thursday that about 6,000 people were evacuated after a landslide in Tibet blocked the flow of one of the region’s key rivers, creating a lake that could endanger downstream areas in India.
The collapse on Wednesday morning of a cliff in the deep valley through which the river flows created a dam-like barrier on the Yarlung Tsangpo, the headwater of India’s Brahmaputra River, the local emergency response bureau said in a report carried by state media.
The landslide struck near a village in Menling County and water in the lake had risen to a height of 40 meters (130 feet) by Thursday, the bureau said.Click Here: liverpool mens jersey
