Express News Service

DEHRADUN: In view of adversarial climate circumstances amid heavy snowfall in Joshimath and surrounding hills, the district administration had stopped the demolition of buildings affected by the land sinking catastrophe.

At the identical time, the federal government has clearly acknowledged that it’s going to “follow the report of experts and scientists on how to revive Joshimath after overcoming the land submergence disaster.”

Heavy snowfall on Friday disrupted aid work in Joshimath and adjoining areas. Chamoli District Magistrate Himanshu Khurana stated, “The demolition of dangerous buildings has also been stopped due to adverse weather conditions.”

Joshimath faces an existential disaster after a number of homes and infrastructures proceed to endure large-scale injury induced by the continuing land subsidence. The city’s future will rely upon the research performed by consultants and scientists.

“There are eight teams involved in finding out the cause of land submergence including teams from the geological Survey of India, IIT Roorkee, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, and CBRI for Prefabricated Huts. IIRS will Provide satellite images of land Movement. Geophysics Research Institute, NRI Hyderabad, NIH National Institute of Hydrology will examine the water seepage,” Khurana added.

Chief Secretary Dr S S Sandhu stated, “Teams from eight different central institutions are conducting studies at Joshimath. There is also a possibility of contradiction in their report. Therefore, no conclusion can be reached on the basis of the report of any one institution.”

“All the institutions have been asked to submit their report to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) as soon as the investigation is completed,” he added.

The matter was mentioned in depth at a gathering chaired by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on the state secretariat on Thursday.  After learning these reviews, the National Disaster Management Authority will put together a report and submit it to the state authorities which can put together a plan for the longer term rejuvenation of Joshimath.

“The situation has changed, we have to think in a new way”, Chief Minister Dhami stated, including that tenders had been issued to create a DPR for the drainage system in Joshimath. “But now we have to think in a new way because there is a difference between then and now. Now all the tasks will have to be executed fresh.”
