It is estimated that three million cubic meters of water will accumulate in the lake within the next three days, due to which there is a high risk of bursting or exploding, China Central Television reported on Thursday, according to China's official mouthpiece Global Times
The ministry is closely monitoring the condition of the lake. Also, it is providing necessary support and preparation for emergency rescue operations by forecasting and analyzing possible floods that may occur if the lake bursts.
