The accident in Mana of Uttarakhand strengthens the belief that nature keeps warning against the molestation happening with itself. 54 laborers suddenly hit the avalanche, although most of the workers were rescued. Teams of Army, ITBP, Air Force, NDRF, SDRF conducted a search operation with the help of modern equipment, but still eight lives could not be saved. The avalanche often involves landslides. Himalayan hills are the newest and raw hills in the world. Constant movement continues in these. It is not possible to stop these natural movements, but they can definitely be reduced by studying them properly.
Proper technology is not commonly used in construction works. Landslide is not a sudden incident. Before the big incident, soil and stones start falling on the spot. Then debris starts coming. If there is water pressure, the water leakage increases, cracks occur on the ground. Then the mountains start to fall and fall and the accident happens.
Nand Kishore Garg, who monitors the movement of the Himalayas, writes that,"Himalayan glaciers have shrunk several miles due to indiscriminate erosion of forests. If this trend continues, the day is not far when the entire mountainous region will be forced to face landslides." The biggest challenge before the governments is to provide basic facilities for the people living in the mountains. Uttarakhand is a border state. Therefore, it is natural that roads should be constructed keeping in mind the security needs.
It is the responsibility of the government to protect the interests of laborers engaged in construction work along the Indo-China border. The efforts made to save the workers after the avalanche should be appreciated. But it is also the responsibility of the government to take precautions before the construction of any structure in the glacier areas. & Nbsp;
It is true that the prediction of landslides is not possible. But the danger can be estimated by regular studies of geographical conditions. It is necessary to listen to the experiences of the local people for the protection of forests and mountains. Environmentalist Chandi Prasad Bhatt believes that, "Today the previous information system should be local, Himalayan, Asian and globally, so that human life can be protected from disasters. For this, a joint mechanism of India, China, Nepal and Bhutan should be formed.
This is necessary for avalanche and landslides to flood protection. Also, the tasks to reduce the firepower of rain should also be done on a large scale. There should also be comprehensive knowledge of the sensitivity of glaciers, Himatalabas, Bugyalas and forests." The entire Himalayan region has been shaken within a huge amount of explosions under unscientific and unplanned development today. As a result, every two kilometers after every two kilometers are active and huge landslides are active at ten kilometers.
Lokendra Singh Bisht expresses something like this,"The incidents of sliding mountains of mountains have now become normal. The frequency of natural phenomena like floods and earthquakes has increased. The net of roads, canals has waned the balance of the environment here. Many types of wildlife are no longer visible. Many types of herbs are no longer growing. Where are the forests left now? Things have become so far that the ‘snow line’ (snow line) is moving upwards in the Central, North Himalayas and large Himalayas. That is, earlier the height at which snow used to occur, is now starting even more in height. This ‘snow-line’ is very low in Europe compared to our country. The water level of various locks, lakes located in the Himalayas is decreasing rapidly. The glaciers are melting; Some have also been finished."& nbsp;
The sufferings of the Himalayas and the sufferings of the nature there should not be seen as a local problem. At the same time, the vision of looking towards the Himalayas will also have to be changed which wants to milk the rivers and forest wealth there for economic benefits. According to Rajiv Nayan Bahuguna, who has knowledge of the wide mountainous region from Kohima to Kashmir,"In the last few decades, exploitation of natural resources in the name of development has also deprived the local people of their nature -given rights." We have to decide whether we need electricity for a few years by putting the Himalayan rivers at stake or good air, clean water and safe environment. Scientists believe that 90 percent of the incidents of avalanche are human and often humans also fall victim to the accident. The avalanche can fall at a faster speed of more than 320 kilometers per hour.
After the Kedarnath accident, there has been a lot of improvement at the level of disaster management. But a lot is yet to be done in the Himalayan region to balance with nature. The holy Char Dham – Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri are located in the zone of glaciers. Millions of devotees reach these pilgrimage sites. Thousands of vehicles come. The convoy of loud -sounding helicopters shakes the calm nature. Infrastructure is being constructed for urbanization. The result is that the glaciers are decreasing from year to year. Environmental scientist Virendra Kumar Panuli is worried about saving the glacier. He also gives suggestions for this. Panuli believes that "There should not be any kind of tampering in the rocks where the glaciers are last.
Melting the glacier is common due to increasing temperature, but if they are compensated with snow falling on them, then their balance remains." Recently, there was a landslide due to heavy snow and rain in Himachal Pradesh. Major roads and national highways of the state were disrupted. In Kullu, Lahaul-Spiti, Kinnaur, Chamba and Shimla, life became disturbed. According to officials, there is a danger of avalanche in tribal areas and other height areas with height above 2,300 meters. It is clear that due to excessive human intervention, there are many changes in the Himalayan environment. Serious efforts are necessary to protect the immense and supernatural beauty and precious natural wealth of the Himalayas. The development of Uttarakhand and other Himalayan states should be environmentally friendly.
