  • THE AGONISING COST of HAM-HANDED DEVELOPMENT Relevant For: Environment | Topic: Disaster and Disaster Management
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2021-02-12 THE AGONISING COST OF HAM-HANDED DEVELOPMENT Relevant for: Environment | Topic: Disaster and disaster management Following flash floods at Chamoli in Uttarakhand, defence personnel are looking for missing persons in a mélange of rock, mud, water, and debris, airlifting rations to inaccessible villages, and repairing bridges and telecommunication networks. Social scientists are assessing the disaster’s impact on the region’s economy. Scientists and policy makers are debating whether climate change or unchecked development in an ecologically fragile region was primarily responsible for the disaster and the death toll. News reports of ancient temples having been swept away in the Alakananda’s raging waters are bringing back traumatic memories of the Kedarnath floods in 2013. All these developments show the profound significance attached to this region and they prompt a historian to ask two fundamental and interrelated questions: How did the Uttarakhand Himalayas emerge as a deva bhumi and how did it develop into a focus of Hindu pilgrimage? A study of the archaeological record and inscriptional evidence suggests that many and varied agents and processes played important roles in gradually transforming this borderland into a sacred landscape. Artefacts found in the Himalayan foothills that are datable to the period extending from 300 BCE and 600 CE include an Ashokan rock edict, brick altars for conducting ashvamedha yagnas, coin hoards, and sculptures. Scientist warns of water build-up near Uttarakhand disaster zone The forms of these artefacts and their find-spots indicate deepening contact between communities living in the Gangetic plains and in the foothills.

  • Char Dham Project Is a Two-Lane Highway Project Currently Under Construction in the State of Uttarakhand by the Border Road Organisation
    Char Dham Highway Project The Char Dham project is a two-lane highway project currently under construction in the state of Uttarakhand by the Border Road Organisation. Upon the completion of the project, it will connect the four important pilgrim towns of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. The details about the Char Dham Project given in this article will be useful for candidates appearing in the government exams. Overview of Char Dham Project The foundation stone of the ₹12,000 crore project was laid at Parade Ground in Dehradun by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 27 2016. The highway construction project is called as Char Dham Mahamarg Vikas Pariyojana and its aim is to improve the connectivity to the Chota Char Dham. The Chota Char Dham itself is a pilgrim circuit nestled in the Himalayas. The highway project will also be will have railway links and several long bridges and tunnels to eliminate accident and slide prone areas Some more facts about the Char Dham Project is given in the table below: Char Dham Highway Project Total Length of the Highway 719 North End Mana South End Rishikesh Maintained by National Highway Authority of India Proposed Routes Rishikesh–Yamunotri Rishikesh–Gangotri Rishikesh–Kedarnath Rishikesh–Badrinath .Environmental Concerns regarding the Char Dham Project Environmentalists had pointed out that the unregulated cutting of tries and scooping up land at the base of the hills is irreversibly damaging the ecosystem as well as making the regions the project passes through dangerously prone to landslides. Although the government had given orders to the contractors to treat the slopes before moving on to the next construction point, it was found that most had not done so.

Springs occur where sloping ground and impermeable strata intersect with the ground water table. The water sources of such springs, in most cases are unconfined aquifers where the water flows under gravity. Spring water discharge fluctuations owe primarily due to rainfall pattern in the recharge area or more precisely stated, to variation in the amount of rainwater that is able to infiltrate the ground and recharge the ground water. Marked variation in the discharge following rainfall indicates rapid infiltration of rainwater and recharge of the groundwater in colluvial-related springs, and discharge curves show strongly periodic seasonal rhythm. Superimposed on these variations is a periodic (monthly) fluctuation resulting from occasional heavy rainfalls, generally in the rainy season.

  • Chandrashila Peak Climb ‐ Chopta, Tungnath, Deoriatal Trek
    CHANDRASHILA PEAK CLIMB ‐ CHOPTA, TUNGNATH, DEORIATAL TREK NATURE OF TRIP Trekking LOCATION Garhwal Himalayas, Uttarakhand DURATION 5 Days (Haridwar ‐ Haridwar) TREKKING DAYS 3 Days MAXIMUM ALTITUDE Chandrashila peak summit (4000m) GRADE Moderate SEASON Sep‐Nov (in winters, Dec‐Mar, we run snow treks on this trail) ACCOMODATION Alpine Camping ‐ 2 Nights Hotel/Eco lodge ‐ 2 Nights GROUP SIZE Maximum of 15 persons ...We welcome you to join us on this memorable trip to the Himalayas BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CLIMB & THE TREK If one is looking at a short 5‐day trek in the Himalayas then look no further. This is one of the most enchanting short treks and lies in the Garhwal region of Himalayas. This hike is in a protected area and hence there are minimal signs of civilization and abundance of flora & fauna, which adds to the beauty of the place. In the first leg of the trek we hike up to Deoriatal. This is a beautiful lake at an altitude of 2438 m and has captivating surroundings with forests all around. The Chaukhamba peak feels like it is an arm’s length away and the reflection of the mighty peak in the crystal clear waters of the lake creates a beautiful effect. The story associated with this scenic place is that when the Pandavas were in exile and were hiding from the Kaurava king, Duryodhan, they stopped nearby for a rest. When their mother Kunti felt thirsty, one by one four of her sons went to fetch water from this lake but died, as they could not answer the question put forth to them by the Yaksha Devta who resided here.
