Earlier data indicated that 41 people were killed in the disaster.
"As on 1200 hrs of 14/2/2021 45 Bodies found so far," Pradhan wrote on Twitter.
According to the Indian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the glacier descended on February 7, triggering a rise in the water level in the Rishiganga River that washed away the 13.2 MW Rishiganga hydroelectric power station. The flash flood also impacted a hydroelectric project of India's largest energy conglomerate NTPC at Tapovan on the Dhauliganga River.
As of Sunday, 164 people are missing. The search operation involves national and local rescuers, Indo-Tibetan police officers and the military.
