Following a devastating cloudburst in Uttarkashi’s Dharali village, this report examines the recurring nature of such disasters in the Himalayas. After a similar event in Himachal last year, experts discuss the increasing frequency and intensity of these weather phenomena. The discussion covers the significant challenges rescue teams face in the mountainous terrain, especially with nightfall approaching. Experts point to a critical gap in pre-disaster planning and the lack of a cohesive regional strategy for the vulnerable Himalayan states. One expert, Anjal Prakash, stated, "this is a disaster in the making. We have to see the entire region of Himalayan region in one understanding… we have to have a very robust planning." The conversation also touches upon the need for stronger institutional responses, including the potential for a dedicated ministry for climate change to coordinate efforts and prevent future tragedies.
