Joshimath Landslide: जोशीमठ में कैसे धंस रहे हैं घर-सड़क, देश की सुरक्षा ... (अमर उजाला)

जोशीमठ लंबे अरसे से धंस रहा है। इस भू-धंसाव को लेकर स्थानीय लोगों की जोशीमठ बचाओ ...

जोशीमठ से भारत-तिब्बत सीमा महज 100 किलोमीटर दूर है। भू-धंसाव का क्षेत्र सैन्य क्षेत्र और आईटीबीपी के मुख्यालय की ओर बढ़ना शुरू हो गया है। सैन्य क्षेत्र में जाने वाली सड़क भी धंसनी शुरू हो गई है। जोशीमठ में भारतीय सेना का ब्रिगेड मुख्यालय और भारत-तिब्बत सीमा पुलिस (आईटीबीपी) की एक बटालियन तैनात है। जोशीमठ भारत-तिब्बत सीमा (चीन के अधिकार क्षेत्र) का अंतिम शहर है। यहां से नीती और माणा घाटियां भारत-तिब्बत सीमा से जुड़ती हैं। भू-धंसाव का क्षेत्र बढ़ता रहा तो यहां जवानों का रहना मुश्किल हो जाएगा। विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि इस स्थिति में देश की सुरक्षा को भई खतरा पैदा हो सकता है। मिश्रा समिति ने भूस्खलन और भू-धंसाव वाले क्षेत्रों को ठीक कराकर वहां पौधे लगाने की सलाह दी थी। इसके साथ ही समिति ने कहा था कि स्थल की स्थिरता की जांच करने के बाद ही क्षेत्र में आगे का निर्माण किया जाना चाहिए और ढलानों पर उत्खनन पर प्रतिबंध लगाया जाना चाहिए। खुदाई या विस्फोट से कोई बोल्डर नहीं हटाया जाना चाहिए और भूस्खलन क्षेत्र पर कोई पेड़ नहीं काटा जाना चाहिए। विशेष रूप से मारवाड़ी और जोशीमठ के बीच के क्षेत्र में व्यापक वृक्षारोपण कार्य शुरू किया जाना चाहिए और ढलानों पर जो दरारें विकसित हुई हैं, उन्हें सील कर दिया जाना चाहिए। सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि पहाड़ी की तलहटी पर लटकने वाले शिलाखंडों को उचित सहारा दिया जाना चाहिए और नदी प्रशिक्षण के उपाय किए जाने चाहिए। मौजूदा दौर में भी क्या इसे लेकर कोई रिपोर्ट आई है? जोशीमठ में भू-धंसाव का मामला क्यों चर्चा में आया है?

Why is Joshimath sinking? Alarm bells in hill town ringing since 1976 (India Today)

Joshimath, a hilly town in Uttarakhand, has raised national concerns as the hill begins to claim its lands. The city is sinking.

The landslide debris on which the city was established has a low bearing capacity and experts have long warned that it cannot support a high rate of construction. That report -- by the government-appointed Mishra Commission -- pointed to a crucial piece of information: Joshimath is located on the site of an ancient landslide. While the panic over the Joshimath sinking is making headlines now, scientists and geologists working in the area have been sounding the alarm for decades. Joshimath is also of great strategic importance to the Indian armed forces and is home to one of the Army's most important cantonments. A 2022 report stated that the area around Joshimath is covered with thick layers of overburdened material. The winter abode of lord Badrinath, a staging ground for troops posted along the Sino-Indian border, and a sort of a base camp for Himalayan expeditions, Joshimath is making headlines for the wrong reason: it is sinking.

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.

A recent survey by a team of experts confirmed what many locals had been fearing: the city is actually sinking at its base. According to Chief Minister ...

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.

All this has led to fears that some parts of the town might collapse under its own weight. Over the years, people settled down in these areas because they were relatively flat due to the deposition of debris from landslides. Added to this is the fact that the area falls in a highly seismic zone, and experiences regular tremors, making the top soil unstable. “In fact, Joshimath is not the only habitation facing this problem.
