DEHRADUN: Scientists and experts in Uttarakhand conducting ground survey work for a proposed river-linking project at Pindari glacier, the "first-of-its-kind" in the country as reported by TOI earlier, have stumbled upon a v-shaped lake that is a km-long and 50-m wide which has formed near Bageshwar's Kuwari village (situated at an altitude of about 1,700 m) because of landslides in the area in 2013 and 2019.
Due to the impact of the landslides and the lake, the hill slope on which the village is located is slowly sliding down and obstructing the natural flow of the Pindar river, which merges into the Alaknanda at Karnaprayag in Chamoli, an official said.
