Following the loss of 34 lives in a landslide at Mata Vaishno Devi on Ganesh Chaturthi, this programme examines the increasing frequency of disasters in the Himalayas. This event follows other recent tragedies, including those in Kishtwar and Harsil. Experts discuss how these are not just natural disasters but the result of man-made choices, unsustainable planning, and urban decay. One speaker stated, “what is happening now is actually a combined cascading impact of unsustainable planning. Urban decay and climate change.” The discussion highlights sinister signs of a climate crisis, such as unprecedented 50-hour rainfall and August snowfall in Ladakh, a cold desert. The programme questions the efficacy of early warning systems and developmental projects like highways and tunnels that encroach on river bodies and require deforestation, calling for accountability and a proactive approach to disaster management. #vaishnodevilandslide #climatechange #vaishnodevitragedy #itwebvideos #himalayas #jammu #kashmir #ladakh #climateemergency #climateactionnow #manmadedisaster #extremeweather #himalayanblunder #cloudburst #flashflood
