[Photo/Agencies] A special department will be set up by the government of Uttarakhand state in India to "monitor and study all the glaciers through satellite", according to the local authorities. The move can help probe the cause of the glacier burst on Feb 7 which has claimed the lives of 67 people at least. "All angles (related to the glacier burst) should be investigated," said Uttarakhand state irrigation minister Satpal Maharaj told the local media earlier. Over 140 others are still missing from massive flooding caused by the Nanda Devi glacier burst on Feb 7 in the Chamoli district in Uttarakhand state which borders China. Most of them are hydro projects workers and local villagers.
