The focus is on the Uttarakhand landslide and the ongoing efforts to restore road connectivity. The incident is attributed to factors including intense rainfall, melting glaciers, and glacial lake outbursts, which lead to loose rock and soil movement. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) team is working to re-establish crucial road links, facing challenges like wet mud and the risk of fresh landslides. Road connectivity is vital for rescue, search, and relief operations. Army engineers are mobilizing to construct a temporary metal ‘valley bridge’ to enable vehicular movement. A concrete bridge would take six to seven months to build. Communication channels and electricity are also being restored in affected areas like Harshal and Dharali. The operations involve multiple phases: evacuation, rescue, search, and relief. As stated, ‘The only way is to restore the valley bridge now the concrete bridge will take at least six to seven months.’ This highlights the critical need for rapid infrastructure repair in the sensitive ecosystem.
