Kargil's Vanishing Glaciers: 'Global Warming Is The Major Issue For Mankind'

This special report highlights the alarming impact of global warming on the Himalayan glaciers in the Kargil region of Ladakh. The speaker notes that despite chilling winter temperatures, the lack of snowfall in mid-January is causing glaciers to shrink and water levels in local streams to recede. The report emphasizes that 'Global warming is the major issue and threat for the mankind across the globe as well as in India.' This environmental shift poses a severe threat to drinking water supplies, agriculture, and horticulture in the region. The speaker warns that the vanishing glaciers will have a long-term impact on the tributaries of major rivers that sustain life in both India and Pakistan. The programme underscores the visible changes in the Himalayan states of Kashmir, where the reduction of water flow in streams is becoming increasingly evident during the peak winter months.
