Answer:
Arunachal Pradesh
Notes: India launched its first survey of high-risk glacial lakes in Tawang and Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh. The initiative follows a glacial lake outburst flood in Sikkim's South Lhonak lake last October. It is led by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). It is part of the National Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) Mission. The survey aims to assess risks and feasibility for early warning systems and other preventive measures. It will evaluate lake accessibility, geo coordinates, boundaries, elevation, and land use patterns to install early warning systems and weather stations.
