Why is land cracking in hilly states? get to know
Scientists had expressed apprehension about 4 decades ago that if the indiscriminate construction in the joshimath area does not stop, there could be a catastrophe here. Scientists have repeatedly reiterated in different reports that hilly areas are not used to tolerate uncontrolled construction. The lands there are not as strong as the flat lands. If construction continues like this, landslides and landslides will increase rapidly. The lands of most of the Himalayan states have been prepared on the basis of landslides. Incessant rains, water-logging and uncontrolled construction are weakening the land here.
The erosion of mountains in the name of road widening, construction work in the name of hydropower projects and construction of hotels are the real reasons for the tragedy here. Scientists say that before construction anywhere research should be done on the condition of the land there. What can be the effect of any construction activity, can the land there tolerate such construction, and what will be the effect on the ecology there, if these things are taken care of, then such destruction can be avoided.
It is true that in most mountainous areas, the news of landslides comes to the fore. This is not a coincidence. The ecosystem there is being changed through development. In the name of development, trees are being cut wildly, and mountains are being broken. Irregular rains due to climate change are no less than a problem for the mountains. There are many such reasons why scientists are expressing concern. If attention is not paid in time, then the existence of many cities in the hilly states can be threatened like Joshimath.
