Tunneling in fragile Himalayas fraught with risks, say experts
Monday, 13 November 2023 The collapse of a tunnel in Uttarakhand has raised concerns about the impact of extensive construction in a state prone to landslides. An expert panel appointed by the Supreme Court warned about these issues during a survey a few years ago, calling for a reconsideration of ongoing tunnel projects in the Himalayan states. Scientists suggest that the collapse may be due to inadequate geological understanding or non-compliance with regulations. While there is hope for the rescue of trapped workers, there is a need for a meticulous geological survey before tunnel construction in the region.
The forest department in Nainital has called for the assistance of the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army to combat a relentless forest fire that has been raging for over 36 hours, consuming numerous hectares of lush greenery. Helicopters have been deployed by the district administration to aid in firefighting efforts. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has announced plans to convene a meeting to address the escalating situation of the Nainital forest fire in Haldwani district.
