Another Landslide

October 19, 2018;

A landslide has blocked the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Menling County in U-Tsang and around 6,000 people have been evacuated as the water level rose in the lake by 40 metres. No deaths or injuries have been reported. The landslides are sparking demands for investigation into the excessive mining and dam construction developments by the Chinese authorities in Tibet which are seen to be causing environmental disasters.
