joshimath crisis

Locals blame the construction of tunnels being constructed down the village hillock for the Rishikesh-Karnprayag railway line, for subsidence and sliding of rock plates.

Construction activities, particularly in the hills of Uttarakhand, have raised concerns about a disaster-in-waiting.

Speaking to the media on the occasion, Ramdev appealed to non-government organisations (NGOs) and trusts to come forward to help people of Joshimath.

CM Dhami has donated his one-month salary to the chief minister’s relief fund.
