Large-scale construction work is going on in the mountains. In the name of road widening, mountains are being wrongly cut. Building and declining forest area in the mountains is reducing the age of the Himalayas. Due to the construction, the mountains are creaking.
हिमाचल प्रदेश में 55 दिन में 113 भूस्खलन, 330 लोगों की मौत, जानें तबाही का कड़वा सच…
Heavy rains and landslides have wreaked havoc in Himachal Pradesh. Rescue operations are still going on in the landslide affected areas of Shimla. So far, the bodies of 74 people have been recovered. Another body has been recovered from the rubble of Shimla’s Shiva temple. At the same time, after the death of two more people in Chamba district, the death toll in incidents related to rains, floods and landslides in the state has increased to 74. The question is why is there so much destruction in Himachal Pradesh? Who is responsible for the disaster? Geologists have shed light on this issue. From the statements of geologists, you will understand who is responsible for this.
Large-scale construction work is going on in the mountains. In the name of road widening, mountains are being wrongly cut. Building and declining forest area in the mountains is reducing the age of the Himalayas. Due to the construction, the mountains are creaking. Himachal is the biggest example of this. The alarm is that the incidents of landslides have increased 6 times here in two years. Landslides have occurred 113 times in 55 days of this monsoon alone. 330 people lost their lives in incidents related to rain and landslides.
According to geologists, Himachal mountains are being cut straight to widen roads. During this time, the rocks at the foot of the mountains are also being cut. By doing this, the drainage system is over. This has made the sloping areas in Himachal vulnerable to landslides. Explosions in tunnels during construction and landslides from hydro projects are also increasing rapidly.
You can guess at what level the construction work is going on in the Himalayan region from the fact that 68 tunnels are being built in Himachal. Of these, 11 have been built, 27 are under construction and 30 detailed project reports are being prepared. Many of these projects are from the Centre. Obviously, if these projects continue like this, there will be further increase in landslide prone areas in the state.
Meanwhile in Himachal Pradesh the landslide prone area has increased to 17120. Among them there are 675 such places where the population is settled. There are many government buildings in Shimla which have come under the threat of landslides.
