As many as 200 people are still missing after a piece of a Himalayan glacier fell into a river and burst open a dam that triggered a huge flood in northern India, killing 18 with another 200 people missing.

The disaster happened in a valley in the state of Uttarakhand on Sunday and most of the missing are believed to be workers from two hydropower plants.
