Q1. How many glacial lakes in India are classified as "potentially dangerous" by ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC)?
Explanation
India has over 7,500 glacial lakes of which approximately 188 are classified as "potentially dangerous" by ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). The 2023 South Lhonak Lake GLOF in Sikkim (killing 70+) highlighted the threat.
Q2. IMD's AI-based GLOF Early Warning System provides how many hours of advance warning for downstream population evacuation?
