South Asia floods expose gaps in regional climate cooperation

Quick Summary:

Devastating floods in rivers shared by Nepal, India and Bangladesh spur calls for coordinated alerts and response.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs said live data had been shared with Bangladesh about the rising waters, but had stopped due to a power cut caused by the floods.

Heavy rains led to flash floods and landslides that killed some 200 people in Nepal last month in two days of incessant rains caused by low-pressure in the Bay of Bengal and neighbouring parts of India.
