Joshimath: Preparation begins to demolish?...
Joshimath, a sacred city in uttarakhand, is eroding. Homes are crumbling, and the ground is shifting. The history of how this city was founded is equally amazing.
It is very difficult to stop the landslide happening in Joshimath. In view of this tragedy, the uttarakhand government started demolishing the hotels and houses of this holy city on Tuesday. An expert panel assessing the land subsidence in joshimath had recommended the demolition of the damaged buildings. So far 678 houses have developed cracks due to land subsidence in Joshimath. Not only this, but roads have also sunk in many places. Water is continuously coming out from under the ground. The pictures and videos coming from joshimath show the appalling condition of the city and the inefficiency of the government. Everyone knows the story of the devastation of joshimath, but the story of its settlement is also very interesting.
When Jain and Buddha's philosophies were becoming increasingly popular in the country, islam was expanding in the world, and then the role of integration of Sanatan dharma was being prepared in Joshimath. This land which was the penance place of Adi Shankaracharya between the 8th to 9th centuries is cracking today.
