As per Naveed, the incident took place in Tinku Nallah, near a town called Pooh on NH-5 in Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh.
In the video, as the glacier rapidly moving forward, there were several vehicles can also be seen moving back. At the end of the video, a tempo gets stuck between the glaciers because of less space.
The video has left netizens in shock and many were blaming humans for affecting the climate.
This sort of scenes will happen every year because of climate change.

Climate change is not a DISTANT but a Reality. Its happening all the time. Its neither new nor will it stop changing with lesser use of Co2. Climate is dynamic. It keeps changing.

People need to be educated about calamities and safety measures so that they can pass it on to kids as well. It’s no brainier to screw yourself for the unseen which most of the tourists in India aren’t prepared to handle. Excitement could be deceptive.

Amazing capture but how can someone be this foolish to play with an avalanche 🙄

While many people were also debating over avalanche and glacier.
This is not a glacier - a small avalanche. Happens all the time in snow mountains. Not #ClimateChange :)

It's not a glacier sir. Avalanche it is in all probability.
