Union Minister of State for Technology and Earth Sciences Jitendra Singh in the Lok Sabha said that studies related to melting glaciers in the Himalayan region of India are being conducted continuously.

 A study by the University of Leeds in England found that the Himalayan ice caps have lost ten times more ice in recent decades than the average since the last great glacial expansion 400 to 700 years ago, a period is known as the Little Ice Age.

Himalayan glaciers are unusually melting 10 times faster than before, so the water crisis in many Asian countries, including India.

What is happening to the Himalayan glaciers; The ice loss in Himalayan glaciers has accelerated since 2000, with nearly half a meter

At least a third of Himalayan glaciers will disappear by the end of the century, even if countries completely reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, according to a new report from the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development.

The Pensilungpa Glacier (PG) located in Zanskar, Ladakh is retreating and a recent study has attributed the retreat to a rise in temperature and a decrease in rainfall during winters.

Snow, glaciers disappeared; The continuous shrinking of Himalayan glaciers in South Asia is a matter of worldwide concern. Due
