The Uttarakhand Disaster have been officially

termed a natural calamity caused by cloudbursts

and unprecedented heavy monsoon rainfall.

However, the true causes of the epic tragedy is

growth of tourism, unchecked Rapid increase of

roads, hotels, shops and multistory housing in

ecologically fragile areas and unplanned

construction are the reason for landslide.

aish

Also Rapid growth of hydroelectricity dams that disrupt

water balances and this also triggered the action of disaster.

More than 220 power and mining projects are running in

14 river valleys in Uttarakhand.

Several rivers are being diverted through tunnels for these

projects leading to major disasters in the state.

Deforestation is also one of the most important

factor for Uttarakhand disaster, which cause

frequently landslide.

Unprecedented destruction by the rainfall witnessed in

Uttarakhand state was attributed, by environmentalists, to

unscientific developmental activities undertaken in recent

decades contributing to high level of loss of property and

lives. Roads constructed in haphazard style, new resorts

and hotels built on fragile river banks and more than 70

hydroelectric projects in the watersheds of the state led

to a "disaster waiting to happen" as termed by certain

environmentalists. The environmental experts reported

that the tunnels built and blasts undertaken for the 70

hydro electric projects contributed to the ecological

imbalance in the state, with flows of river water restricted

and the streamside development activity contributing to a

higher number of landslides and more flooding.

■Curb Deforestation.

■Avoid undue use of natural resources.

■Have an organized Pilgrimage Tours.

■Minimize utilization of vehicles.

■Stop polluting nature.

Thus we conclude that it is

not only nature even man is

responsible for natural calamities.

Man may progress in all fields but

when nature is against him, that’s

the end of mankind.
