In pictures: Six Hydropower projects wrecked by flash floods in Uttarakhand

A portion of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday, triggering an avalanche and a deluge in the Alaknanda river system. The disster washed away hydroelectric stations, leaving at least 14 people dead, and over 150 missing. Local reports suggested workers of the NTPC-owned Tapovan Vishnugad hydropower plant were stuck in it owing to the flash flood. Sixteen of them have since been rescued, but about 125 were still missing.
