Challenging Nature

The disaster of Uttarakhand that is attributed to the ecological factors and true it is, indeed is a lesson to remember that at times the development projects too could keep the situation under serious threats.

Needless to make a hue and cry and the very insistence on the varied projects that could be detrimental to provoke already compromised status in many hill areas.

The cracks appeared in city of Joshi math has alerted and made the local administration to say no for the kind of aggressions shown in recent past for the constructions in this hill town where perhaps the vulnerabilities associated with this region is understood to have prompted to take initiatives albeit the projects were planned to take up.

The area needs development for sure that develops the employment for the locals and the growth of the city keeps the structure commensurate with the modern needs yet the issues that needs to be faced of landslides that are natural disasters and limiting factors for many heavy constructions.

Need obviously is felt of observing close probe and then proceed with the clearance of the project be it of any nature.
