Wildlife board nixes mining plan near Kedarnath sanctuary
Sunday, 19 January 2025 The National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) has denied the Uttarakhand government’s proposal for soapstone mining near Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, a habitat for endangered species. Environmentalists praised the move, emphasizing the risks posed by such mining activities to the region’s ecology. This decision acknowledges growing concerns over unregulated mining in Uttarakhand, including significant damage in Bageshwar district.
Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand continues as yet another Kedarnath-bound chopper crash-lands near Badasu. This marks the fourth helicopter safety crisis on the Char Dham route in 30 days. The AW119 aircraft suffered a tail rotor failure and made an emergency landing on a road, narrowly avoiding a major disaster. Although no fatalities occurred, Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand raises serious questions about maintenance checks, pilot training, and aviation regulations in India’s high-altitude pilgrimage zones. Authorities are investigating the Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand, but the recurring nature of these accidents indicates a deepening helicopter safety crisis that can no longer be ignored. Experts urge immediate reforms to avert more tragedies.
