Unbridled infrastructure buildup, not NTPC induced Joshimath subsidence: GSI
Monday, 29 January 2024 Widespread ground subsidence of January 2023 that damaged 65% of houses in the pilgrim town of Joshimath in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district was induced by “unregulated infrastructure development in the form of high-rise buildings” as well as “disturbance to the natural drainage system” in the fragile mountain and not by NTPC’s hydel project, according to the Geological Survey of India (GSI).
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.
