Switzerland: The destruction of the glacier of Alps mountains caused a catastrophe, the village was buried in garbage
A severe natural disaster in the village of Platon, located in the Alps of Switzerland, was destroyed on Wednesday. Much of a large iceberg of the Alps fell, so thousands of tons of ice, mud and rocks flow towards the village, and the entire area became garbage.
The local administration said that the accident occurred in the village that was already vacant due to the risk of potential landslides. Despite this, a person is missing, whose search is.
Swiss national broadcaster SRF broadcasts show that most of the platan village is covered with a dense layer of mud, stone and snow. The village is located in the Lodschantal valley of Southwest Switzerland.
The village was already empty
Platton Mayor Mathias Belvalt was passionately and said, “We lost our village and it is now buried in trash, but we will do it again.” At the same time, Wallis Provincial Officer Stephen Kamban said about 90% of villages were attacked in the landslide. Administrative spokesman Matias Apanner said, “It is impossible to imagine the same amount of rocks and mudslides falling in the valley.”

Let us tell you that scientists ordered you to vacate the plastic village on May 19, when they saw cracks and ice slipping on the rear mountain. A video virus on social media shows the terrible scene of the fracture of this glacier. In the video, you can see a dust and ice moving towards the village of Kubal.
Climate experts believe that this disaster may play a role in climate change and temperature rise. Christian Hugel, an environmental scientist at the University of Zurich, said, “The melting of the local permortfrest will affect the stability of the mountain, which causes this catastrophe.”
The village turned into trash
According to Hugeline, such a disaster in the Swiss Alps has not been seen in the last century. Residents of the village have already been safely evacuated, but many houses and structures have been completely destroyed in garbage.

Swiss President Karin Keller-Satter Excised the locals in Twitter X (Twitter), he said, “It is very sad to lose your home.” The administration has requested the people to close the main road of the valley and stay away from the area.
What do experts say
Professor Prakash, a professor in ISP, says, “It is difficult to say how much climate change has played in this particular event, but the temperature of the Swiss Alps is twice as much as the global average. It is furious (permanently frozen snow), which has a significant role in retaining the people of the highlands.
There is also a severe crisis in the Hindu Himalayas region
There is also an increasing number of cases of glaciers in the Himalayas region. In 2013, 6,000 people died and 30 hydroelectric projects were destroyed by an iceberg exploding in Kedarnath. In 2023, Sikkim was flooded with the South Lonak glacier, in which more than 100 people were killed or missing. According to the IPCC report, if the global temperature goes above 1.5 ° C, the Himalayan glacier will quickly lose the glacier, and the phenomenon of glacier lakes will be even more deadly.
The Kathmandu -based government organization has recently warned that a worrying fall has been recorded in the ICIMOD (International Center for Integrated Mountain Development) in the Hindu Himalayas (HKH) region.
The rapid melting of glaciers is not only threatening water supply, but also a serious threat to future floods, landslides and environmental instability. Experts believe that if the current trends continue, the icebergs are dramatically planned in the coming decades, which will have a profound impact on the water and food safety of Asia’s population of more than two billion people in Asia.
