To protect Ganga from hydropower plants, Matri Sadan seers to sit on fast from Feb 23 | Dehradun News

Matri Sadan
Dehradun: In the backdrop of the Chamoli tragedy, the seers of Matri Sadan have decided to start their fast unto death from February 23 onwards unless the government decides to scrap all the hydropower plants on Ganga and Yamuna and their main tributaries.
Swami Shivanand Saraswati, the 70-year-old Ganga activist and founder of the Haridwar-based Matri Sadan, will be sitting on protest fast. The activist has tagged his protest a 'tapasya’ to save the Ganga.
The protest consists of four demands. Their three other demands include removal of stone crushers 5km away from the banks of Ganga, banning mining and quarrying on the Ganga riverbed from Raiwala to Raighat and formation of a 'Ganga Parishad'.

I ravaged nature for years, but a tree saved my life: Uttarakhand flash flood survivor | Dehradun News

Vikram Chauhan was one of the few fortunate survivors at the Rishiganga hydel power project
DEHRADUN: “My job has always been to cut the mountains, or plough the earth. I never conserved nature. But today, I am grateful that nature came to my rescue in the form of a tree,” Vikram Chauhan, 49, an excavator operator who survived the Rishiganga flash flood, told TOI.
Now Chauhan has a different outlook towards nature. “I respected trees as they gave us oxygen, nothing more than that. But that morning taught me a lesson. Nature has both the powers to save or to kill.”

It will take a year for river ecosystem to regenerate: Experts | Dehradun News

The riverbed of the Rishiganga and the Dhauliganga up to Srinagar — nearly 100km — has been completely disturbed due to siltation, according to scientists
Dehradun: Sunday's flash flood in Chamoli has not only sucked away human lives and destroyed hydel projects but also has shaken the river ecology immensely, so much so that it will take a year's break from human interference to regenerate, say experts. The riverbed of the Rishiganga and the Dhauliganga up to Srinagar -- nearly 100km -- has been completely disturbed due to siltation, according to scientists.
The macrobenthos (organisms that live at the bottom of a water column and are visible to the naked eye) and insects, which are also known as aquatic ‘ecosystem managers’ of the rivers are all gone with the disaster. They will take at least a year to come back again.
