| Dangerous Consequences of Messing with Nature | | | Vijay Garg
According to Indian philosophy, the development of human civilization is considered from the Himalayas and its river valleys. Today, the development methods and hurriedly the gathering of the Himalayas continue. The natural disaster that came to three places, including Dharali village in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, is a warning that the consequences of messing with nature can be terrible. The scenes that nature has shown as floods in Dharali and Harshil are truly frightening. Once again the story of Kedarnath disaster on this route associated with Chardham Yatra is nature. Actually, currently the whole Himalayan region is getting two-four from the dangers of modern development and climate change. Satellites containing information of weather and natural disasters whether as many modern technology are connected, they are able to allow the breakdown of clouds bursts, glaciers breakdown and heavy rains due to irregular weather not accurate information. Kedarnath tragedy in the year 2013 and signs of flooding in the rivers of Jammu and Kashmir in 2014 were also not able to meet the satellite. Similarly in the year 2021, the destruction of Himnad near Nanda Devi National Park was a catastrophe. This caused a sudden flood in the river Dhauliganga and many labourers working in the Tapovan hydroelectric project were gathered in the cheek of the period. Himachal Pradesh is also coming to see the devastation from landscaping, cloudburst, and heavy rain. Meteorologists say that this time due to a long hurdle in the monsoon, conditions like less rain-dried have been created in parts of the country, while heavy rains in Himachal and Uttarakhand are causing havoc. With the monsoon interrupted, clouds gather on the mountains and that is what are formed due to torrential rain. But can’t avoid accountability by holding the monsoon responsible for the devastation. Kedarnath had a catastrophe without a monsoon interruption. It is therefore undeniable to say that the blockage of the monsoon changed into devastation. Actually the entire Himalayan region has been tampering with nature in gathering facilities for tourists for the past decade and in the works of hydropower and rail projects. Tunnels are being built for these projects to pass rail in the Himalayan region and mix several Himalayan small rivers into large rivers. The Himalayas are being hollowed for the plants that seem to be for power projects as well. Imbalance in modern industrial and technology development is the only result that mountains have started pouring today, on which for thousands of years, man had also been protecting the Himalayas and other living creatures living there with the benefit of his knowledge tradition, the Himalayas and the earth remain safe, in this vision, grateful man has made many prayers in the earth suchas written in the Atharvaveda. It has tried to bind man to policy and religion to nurture and flourish the spirit of national concept and vasudhaiv kutumbakam, but we did the job of destroying our base only for perceived physical facilities under the pretext of modern development. Water is leaking from a 1300 m long and 80 m wide lake made on Bhagirathi river flowing in disaster affected ground and Harshil area, preparing to break it from pokland machines, so that a little flow for leakage increases and lake water level decreases. If there will be a big boulder between this lake, it will be broken by controlled explosives. This lake has come into existence due to overgrazing in the mountains. The formation of lake, pond and glaciers in the Himalayas is a surprising, but natural process. Since this lake has become a crisis for Harshil and Dharali, it has become necessary to be broken. If it breaks due to the natural outbreak, then the dharali and harshil will increase further risk. The twelve-member party of the Dehradun Irrigation Department Engineers is engaged in the inspection of the lake from Helicapter. In the flow of the lake if there is a rock barrier, it will be broken from a remote controlled explosive. This method breaks the same part, as much as it is necessary to break. Even though it hasn’t been sure guessed yet. What is the actual cause of this water catastrophe. Geologists are confused. They are now waiting for ‘Remote Sensing Data’ and ‘Satelite Data’ to know the truth. This will clear the situation that Kheer came to the river Ganga from the Sailab cloudburst, glacial breakdown or landscaping or for any other reason. Geologists and experts in this connection believe that it is not possible at the moment to say the reason why this sudden so much salab came in the river. This disaster can happen for both natural and man-made reasons. These contradictory projections clear that the reason is not clear about the disaster this time. Indeed, there should be development work by balancing with nature in mountainous regions, but even state governments make any balanced policy in the dazzling of alleged development, then honesty does not take place in its implementation. This is why indiscriminate growth projects across the Himalayan region are destroying the inner well-formed structure of the Himalayas. This disaster has made it clear that the forests of lakes are increasing in the high Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. There are about 1266 such lakes in the state. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has marked 13 glaciers in Uttarakhand as dangerous category. Five of these have been placed under high risk category. However this issue is not new.
In the year 2013, the issue had become significant after Kedarnath Water Holocaust. Uttarakhand comes in the most dangerous zone-5 of the earthquake. Low intensity earthquakes continue to come here continuously. The incidence of geoejaculation, cloudburst and lightning are constantly coming out in Himachal and Uttarakhand hill districts during the monsoon. Mild earthquakes are also coming along with the durations of the mountains. Uttarakhand and Himachal have had more than 130 times smaller earthquakes in the past seven years. Hydroelectric and rail projects have caused major losses in Himachal and Uttarakhand. There was a long campaign to stop the dam on Tehri. Environmentalists and geologists have also been instructing that the undiluted stream of the Ganga and its tributaries, then the Ganga will lose existence, the existence of other rivers and lakes of the Himalayas can also be endangered.
