Telangana Chief Minister said cloudbursts may be a 'foreign conspiracy' during his visit to flood-hid Bhadrachalam

India, especially its Himalayan states Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, are devastated by cloudbursts several times moslty during the monsoon season. Flash floods caused by a cloudburst in Uttarakhand in 2013, killing thousands of people, is one of the worst natural disasters the country recorded since the 2004 tsunami. 

Climate change has been making these extreme weather events more frequent and intense, according to meteorologists. 

In 2021, Himachal Pradesh recorded around 30 cloudburst events and Uttarakhand 50, according to South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People, a network of organisations that work on related issues. SANDRP collated data from news articles on these disasters. 

This year is no better: Flash floods that followed a cloudburst near Amarnath caves in Jammu & Kashmir July 8, 2022 left 17 dead and around 40 injured as of July 16, state authorities announced. Over 60 people are still missing, according to official records. One of the first incidents of cloudburst this year was in Budgam district in Jammu & Kashmir on May 9, when at least one person died.  

A couple of days earlier, around six tourists were washed away in a similar incident in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu district.
