Landslide, not glacier, led to flash flood in Rishiganga river: IIRS report | Dehradun News

Indo Tibetan Border Police personnel undertake rescue work at one of the hydropower project at Reni village in Chamoli district, in Indian state of Uttrakhund
DEHRADUN: Contrary to the initial claims that a glacier burst caused flash floods in Tapovan area of Chamoli district on Sunday, a fresh satellite assessment done by the Dehradun-based Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), which is part of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has indicated that a landslide in all likelihood triggered an avalanche, resulting in the flash floods.
The IIRS report which was submitted to the state government on Monday, says, “A landslide scar at an elevation of 5600 meters in the catchment of Rishiganga probably destabilised freshly- accumulated snow and initiated its downward movement."

Uttarakhand rivers dotted with over 40 hydroelectric plants | Dehradun News

NDRF personnel prepare to rescue workers at one of the hydro power project site at Reni village in Chamoli district of Indian state of Uttrakhund
DEHRADUN: The flash flood that claimed several lives in Chamoli on Sunday has brought the hydropower plant projects of Uttarakhand under the lens. Experts believe that the over-exploitation of rivers in the fragile Himalayan ecosystem is leading to several catastrophes.
At present, several hydel projects — with a cumulative capacity of around 2594.85 MW — are operational in Uttarakhand. In fact, India’s first hydro-power station was commissioned at Galogi near Mussoorie in 1907. The station still remains functional.

Villagers suspect radioactive device behind Uttarakhand's Chamoli disaster | Dehradun News

The flash floods struck the area near Raini village in Chamoli district on Sunday
DEHRADUN: Villagers of Raini village in Tapovan area of Chamoli that lies near the area which saw the maximum destruction caused by Sunday’s flash floods have expressed concerns that the flash floods may be the result of heat being produced by a radioactive device that was lost in 1965 during a secret expedition to Nanda Devi.
The expedition was conducted by American intelligence agency CIA and the Indian government’s Intelligence Bureau (IB) to plant nuclear-powered surveillance equipment on the summit of Nanda Devi, India’s second-highest mountain range (after Kanchenjunga) for spying on China. However, the mountaineering team conducting the expedition got caught in a blizzard and had to return, leaving the device at the base of the mountain. A year later, when they went back to the area, they could not find it; subsequent expeditions have also not been able to trace the device, which has a life span of over 100 years and is believed to be still somewhere in the area.

A man-made disaster has hit Uttarakhand, says water activist | Dehradun News

LUCKNOW: Water activist Rajendra Singh believes that glacier-burst in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday was a man-made disaster.
Singh, popularly known as ‘Waterman’ for his indefatigable efforts for water conservation in drought prone regions of India, claimed that he and other environmentalists had been warning of such disasters in Uttarakhand region for decades but government authorities never paid heed.
Ignoring the alarms being raised by environmentalists was the reason behind five such calamities in the region since 1992, he further said.
Speaking to TOI from Gorakhpur, where he will attend the convocation of the Madan Mohan Malviya University of Technology on Tuesday as the chief guest, Singh appealed to the governments not to construct any big dams near the three Himalayan rivers.
