This will be the first geological research team to enter the flood ravaged Himalayas and unlock the true causes of the giant, tsunami-like wave that tore through Northern Indian villages, causing unprecedented death and destruction.

There were reports that china created an artificial reservoir in upper Himalayas & blasted it off that caused this disaster & killed around 20000 people. China stared testing this tech few years back & now routinely creats artificial reservoir. So such disasters are now yearly routine. 2-3 years back Indian officials came to know about an artificial reservoir formed in Himalayan region from sat imagery but china didnt allow them to inspect & monitor.
