Nepal Floods 2026: Cause, Death Toll and India Risk
At 8:40 on a Wednesday morning, a mountain on the Nepal–Tibet border appears to have come apart. Ice and rock fell, a river was briefly corked, and a wall of slurry ran into Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. It tore through Gyirong port, the Miteri Bridge, Timure and Syabrubesi, the road used by Kailash Mansarovar Yatra groups and the Langtang trailhead. India rang Bihar and Uttar Pradesh because that water still had a name further down: the Gandak. The science is not closed. Check official live alerts, not a viral video.

Quick Reply: Early science points to an ice-rock avalanche that blocked Lhende Khola, then burst into Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. India warned Bihar and Uttar Pradesh along the Gandak. It is not a proven GLOF. The mountain may still throw a second wave. Use live official alerts.

How to use RTI Wiki — the complete tour
Quick Reply: RTI Wiki is a citizen-built, free resource for India's Right to Information Act. Start at the how-to-file guide if you have a request in mind; use the AI RTI Drafter to write it; everything else on the site hangs off five hubs — guides, tools, courses, fees and the RTI Playbook book. Nothing needs a login except course exams and downloads.
This page is the map. It says what exists, where it lives, and which piece to reach for depending on where you are in the life of a request — thinking about filing, waiting on a reply, or stuck in appeals.
