Description:

In 2021, floods in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli brought back to the fore concerns that the disaster may have been caused by a nuclear device lost close to the Nanda Devi peak during a joint IB-CIA operation. The New York Times has now examined fresh evidence to piece together the sequence of events that ended in the CIA losing a portable “beach-ball-size nuclear device” on the roof of the world. In episode 683 of #CutTheClutter, first published on 15 February 2021, ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta recreates this fascinating story of espionage, subterfuge, and mystery in the Cold War.
