वहीं सरकार जोशीमठ भू धंसाव को लेकर अब क्या कुछ उपाय अपनाती है और जोशीमठ में रह रहे लोगों की किस तरीके से मदद करती है इस पर सभी की नजरें टिकी हुई हैं. उत्तराखंड सरकार के साथ केंद्र सरकार की भी नजर अब पल-पल जोशीमठ भू धंसाव पर लगी हुई है, लेकिन जियोलॉजिस्ट एसपी सती का कहना है कि अब जोशीमठ शहर के अस्तित्व को बचाना बेहद मुश्किल है इसलिए सरकार को पहले जोशीमठ शहर में रह रहे लोगों को बचाना होगा. विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि जोशीमठ में अनियंत्रित विकास, ड्रेनेज सिस्टम का ना होना और जिस तरीके से विष्णु गार्ड परियोजना की टनल, हिला मारवाड़ी बाईपास निर्माण का कार्य चल रहा है यह भी जोशीमठ में भू धंसाव की एक बड़ी वजह हो सकती है.

Uttarakhand According to the report, Joshimath lies on an "ancient landslide" and hence the foundations aren't very strong. Land subsidence and cracks in many houses continue in Uttarakhand's Joshimath. Cracks have appeared on 561 houses in Joshimath, and water seepage continues from underground in JP Colony, Marwadi. It is a gateway to important Hindu pilgrimage sites like Badrinath (one of the four char dhams) and Hemkund Sahib. But the easier it is getting to access the nooks and corners of the state for tourists, the more damage it has brought to the land and its residents.

Kailash Joshwal, a resident of Joshimath blamed the construction work on the hydropower project run by National Thermal Power Corporation for the worsening situation with water from the power tunnels seeping into the houses resulting in the widening of the cracks. MCT passes below Helang, a little south of Joshimath Town, and juxtaposes with the rocks of Garhwal Group (Joshimath Formation), thereby bringing the town under the impact zone of any tectonic activity on MCT. “The seepage reduces the shear strength of the overburden soil,” said Dhyani. The Mishra Commission report (headed by MC Mishra then a top bureaucrat in Uttar Pradesh) in 1976 had recommended ban on heavy construction in the area around Joshimath. This adversely impacted the stability of the slope on which Joshimath town is situated,” the USDMA report said. “The head race tunnel of the project traverses all through the geologically fragile area below Joshimath. According to a study by Uttarakhand State Disaster Management Authority (USDMA), the town is located in an area prone to landslides and the first instance of subsidence in it was reported way back in 1976 Mishra Commission report. Its reference is to the glacial lake burst that caused a flood, resulting in the loss of 204 lives, mostly migrants working on a hydropower project. But the town of over 20,000 population is also on a fragile mountain slope rendered even more fragile by unplanned and indiscriminate development. The study also pointed out that eco-tectonic and geomorphic factors coupled with meteorological characteristics render Joshimath region highly vulnerable to subsidence. Joshimath almost sits on the Vaikrita Thurst (VT), a tectonic fault line. The impact of extreme rainfall events is visible in latest satellite data, which shows that mountain streams have expanded their channels and changed course, thereby inducing more slope instability in al already fragile belt.

The machinery on the ground needs to work with sensitivity and keep a watch on the situation. The state government should take appropriate steps to save Joshimath from landslides,” the party tweeted. Joshimath also has a number of homestays and hotels, many of which have been hit by the subsidence. In a statement, Bhatt said the state government is taking all steps to help those affected, and that NTPC and HCC are providing 2,000 prefabricated houses to affected families. The Chamoli administration has made arrangements for temporary shelters by earmarking over 70 rooms, seven halls and an auditorium with a capacity of 385 people as temporary shelters. The Chief Minister is set to visit Joshimath Saturday.

In order to preserve the soil capacity in the area, experts have also recommended replanting, particularly at the vulnerable sites. The state government has requested that the irrigation department look into the situation and develop a new plan for the drainage system. "The nalas have been blocked by sludge that came from the 2013 Himalayan tsunami, which also facilitated the toe erosion in the region. Experts advise that all construction and hydroelectric projects in the area be stopped immediately. Experts have long warned that the landslide debris on which the city was built has a low bearing capacity and cannot support a high rate of construction. The city is a tourist destination because it serves as an overnight rest stop for visitors to Badrinath, Auli, Valley of Flowers, and Hemkund Sahib, among other important religious and tourist destinations in the state. Joshimath is also strategically important to the Indian military, as it is home to one of the Army's most important cantonments. According to a report from 2022, there are numerous heavy layers of overburdened material covering the area near Joshimath. While the Joshimath sinking crisis is currently making headlines, local geologists and scientists have been raising the alarm for decades. The city, which serves as Lord Badrinath's winter residence, a staging area for troops stationed along the Sino-Indian border, and a sort of base camp for Himalayan expeditions, is in the news for the wrong reason right now: it is sinking. According to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the circumstances in Joshimath are being closely watched. There are cracks in more than 500 homes in the area.

The report had recommended that construction in certain parts of the town be stopped. It also said a poor drainage system and erosion by rivers have compounded the situation in the past few years,” informed an official involved in compiling the report last year. The locals took out a march demanding their immediate evacuation from the town and stoppage of NTPC construction work. Bhuwan Chandra Uniyal, chief priest of Badrinath temple situated next to Joshimath, called for help from the government. The operation of Auli ropeway, one of Asia’s longest ropeways, was also stopped. Why didn’t they pay heed to us earlier?” asked JBSS convener Atul.

About 570 houses in Joshimath developed cracks in recent days, apparently caused by climate and infrastructural changes.

Residents believe that the government ignored warning signs in order to continue infrastructure development, as cracks first appeared in 2021, and now locals are paying the price for this negligence. I will visit Joshimath tomorrow and take stock of the situation. All the reports will be monitored and all the required steps will be taken.

विशेषज्ञों ने मिट्टी की क्षमता को बनाए रखने के लिए विशेष रूप से संवेदनशील स्थलों पर क्षेत्र में पुनर्रोपण का भी सुझाव दिया है. राज्य सरकार ने सिंचाई विभाग को इस मुद्दे पर गौर करने और जल निकासी व्यवस्था के लिए एक नई योजना बनाने के लिए कहा है. ऋषिगंगा बाढ़ की आपदा ने भी स्थिति को और खराब कर दिया, इसके बाद 2021 में अगस्त से अक्टूबर के बीच लगातार बारिश ने समस्या को और खराब कर दिया. यह शहर एक पर्यटक शहर के रूप में कार्य करता है क्योंकि यह बद्रीनाथ, औली, फूलों की घाटी और हेमकुंड साहिब जाने वाले लोगों के लिए रात भर के विश्राम स्थल के रूप में कार्य करता है. क्षेत्र में बिखरी हुई चट्टानें पुराने भूस्खलन के मलबे से ढकी हुई हैं जिनमें बोल्डर, गनीस चट्टानें और ढीली मिट्टी शामिल हैं.वाडिया इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ हिमालयन जियोलॉजी के शोधकर्ताओं द्वारा किए गए 2022 के एक सर्वेक्षण के अनुसार, ये गनीस चट्टानें अत्यधिक अपक्षयित होती हैं और विशेष रूप से मानसून के दौरान पानी से संतृप्त होने पर उच्च छिद्र दबाव की प्रवृत्ति के साथ कम संयोजी मूल्य होता है. निवासियों का कहना है कि घरों में दरारें आ गई हैं और वे अपने घरों को अपने वजन के नीचे गिरने से बचाने के लिए समर्थन संरचनाओं को खोजने के लिए मजबूर हैं.
