ISRO released the pictures and said, between 27
December 2022 and 8 January 2023, a landslide of 5.4 cm has been recorded. Between
April 2022 and November 2022, Joshimath saw a slow decline of 9 cm. The
NSRC said last week that rapid subsidence had started between December and the
first week of January.
Satellite images show that subsidence zone is
located in Central Joshimath including Army Helipad and Narsingh Temple. The
highest depression is located at an altitude of 2,180 meters near the
Joshimath-Auli road. Please tell that in 2022, between April and November,
a slow subsidence of 8.9 cm was recorded in Joshimath.
Joshimath has been declared as landslide area by
the Chamoli district administration. Cracks have been observed in hundreds
of houses and buildings in the last few days. The situation has become
such that hundreds of families were shifted from Joshimath to safer places. Meanwhile,
the state government has announced an interim relief package of Rs 1.5 lakh and
is working on a rehabilitation package.
two hotels will be demolished
In Joshimath, the work of demolishing two hotels was started on
Thursday (January 12), but due to bad weather, the demolition had to be stopped
midway. Earlier, the demolition was put on hold for a few days due to
protests by the local people and residents. The administration has told
that only the hotels 'Malari Inn' and 'Mount View' will be demolished in
Joshimath.
Who
is responsible for the landslide?
Let us tell you that several expert teams have been deployed to
analyze the landslide in Joshimath. However, the local people have blamed
the tunneling work for the NTPC hydroelectric project. On the other hand,
NTPC issued a statement claiming that their tunnel is not passing under
Joshimath.
