Chapter 162 National Crisis(2/2)

The answer given by Anurag is not so.

"The flood broke out very suddenly. During the period when your train was trapped, I and the Minister of Agriculture made a preliminary investigation into the cause of the disaster. The real place where the flood broke out was in the northeastern part of Assam, at the lower end of the Himalayas.

The middle and upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River.”

"Fortunately, many on-site witnesses survived the incident. According to their personal experiences, they described hearing a loud noise, and then the river water level suddenly began to rise sharply. The water became so fierce that it destroyed the original

The dam was filled with water and was overwhelmed, causing continuous dam breaches in the middle reaches, triggering this major flood that has been rare in decades."

According to international hydrological information standards, floods are divided into four levels: small floods, medium floods, major floods, and extremely severe floods according to the return period of flood elements: less than 5 years, 5-20 years, 20-50 years, and more than 50 years.

But what Gu Ji was curious about was the "loud noise".

What kind of movement can cause rivers to suddenly surge before a tropical depression hits landfall?

He thought carefully for a moment.

"Glacial break?"

"earthquake!?"

Gu Ji and Fatima spoke at the same time.

Anurag nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you two are very experienced. Assam is backed by the Himalayas, and the loud noise caused river abnormalities. These two possibilities are the most likely. However, when the incident occurred, the local residents,

Neither the military base nor the state seismic monitoring center has detected seismic activity. I think the 'glacial rupture' mentioned by Vidi is more likely!"

The reason why the glacier broke off makes sense.

After all, the Himalayas are covered with snow all year round and the glacier coverage is very thick. Large glaciers breaking off and falling down will indeed cause sudden surges in river water levels.

only……

"Minister, shouldn't river dam matters be under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Water Resources? Why do we need the Minister of Agriculture to cooperate?"

"The Minister of Water Resources, like the Chief, also disappeared when the flood broke out. There is currently no news about them from the Police Department and Fire Department. I'm afraid..."

Anurag sighed and did not dare to continue talking.

It has been more than four hours since the flood broke out, and no one can be found at this time, so it is obvious that they have been killed.

"Who is Vidi Daly?"
