Joshimath News: Despite continuous warnings from scientists, the burden on Joshimath is increasing instead of decreasing. Experts have clearly said that the city is bearing pressure many times more than its natural load capacity and it is necessary to reduce the load immediately, but the ground situation seems to completely ignore these warnings.
Joshimath: Joshimath has not yet completely recovered from the pain of land subsidence in January 2023 that once again a series of construction works has started here. The fear of the scene that was seen one and a half years ago is still fresh in the minds of people. Earlier the central part of Joshimath and the Alaknanda coast were affected by illegal construction and now this new crisis is rapidly spreading on the top Auli of Joshimath also. Let us know in this report…
Scientists are constantly warning that Joshimath has exceeded its maximum load capacity and there is an immediate need to reduce the load capacity, but the ground reality is completely opposite to these warnings.
In the last two and a half years, instead of reducing the load capacity, every effort is being made to increase it by concrete construction. Be it the world famous tourist destination Auli or important agencies like ITBP and Army, construction work is being done in full swing everywhere.
On one hand, the administration says that for construction work in Badrinath Dham, Auli and Joshimath, it is mandatory to take permission from the authority, municipality and tehsil administration, but when illegal construction and encroachment are taking place right under the eyes of the authority and the local administration, then whose negligence is it? Whose responsibility will be decided?
