A 32 member team from seven Sikkim government departments, Sikkim University and 3 central government departments, including the NDMA, SDMA and the Geological Survey of India have left to Study the status of the Glacial Lakes in North Sikkim. The mission was flagged off by Sikkim Social Welfare Minister Samdup Lepcha. The team of experts will conduct a detailed susceptibility assessment of six high-risk glacial lakes – Ten-chung-kha, Khang-chungChho, Lachen-Khangt-sey, Lachung-Khangt-sey, La Tsho and Shako Chho. This mission would not cover the three high-risk lakes, namely Guru-dongmar A, B, and C, as these lakes are considered to be sacred with sentimental value for the locals.
