Joshimath’s sinking land: Uttarakhand On Saturday, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami travelled in the state’s Chamoli district’s Joshimath town to undertake a survey of land subsidence-stricken areas and speak with affected families.

Before landing in town, the chief minister performed an aerial survey of Joshimath. Huge fissures have been seen in houses, roads, and fields in Joshimath, and many houses have sunk. Due to landslides in Joshimath, cracks have been discovered on the Joshimath-Malari border route, which connects the India-China border. Landslides have also engulfed a big portion of the Badrinath National Highway.

(Joshimath’s sinking land) According to Joshimath Municipal Chairman Shailendra Pawar, massive fissures occurred in the houses due to water leakage from the ground in the Marwadi area.

Joshimath’s sinking land: Commission formed

The central government formed a commission on Friday to investigate the occurrence of land subsidence and its impact on the town of Joshimath.

District Magistrate Himanshu Khurana stated that due to the situation in Joshimath, all construction work has been paused till further directives are issued.

The operations of Hotel View and Malari Inn were restricted due to cracks reported by 27 people in the Sunil ward and 50 people in Parsari.

Nine families were relocated on Thursday, including four from Joshimath Municipal Corporation, one from Gurudwara Joshimath, one from Tourist Hostel, Manohar Bagh, and others.

Joshimath residents blocked the Badrinath Highway on Thursday morning to demand that the government and administration address the issue of land sinking.
