Gangotri glacier recedes rapidly, poses major risk

The Gangotri Glacier, the source of the Ganges in Uttarakhand, is melting fast, receding by 1700 meters, risking water scarcity and increasing flash floods. This alarming trend reflects a global crisis, with countries like Venezuela losing all glaciers by 2024. Immediate action, like planting trees this monsoon, is vital to mitigate the effects and preserve the environment for future generations.
