EARLIER THE VERY UTTERING OF THE WORD KEDARNATH WAS SO PURE THAT ONE USED TO BECOME NOSTALIGIC .ABOUT WHAT?
IT WAS ABOUT EXPECTATIONS OF A COMMON MAN TO VISIT THIS HOLY PALACE OF WORSHIP IN THEIR LIFETIME.
ITS TRUE THAT NOT MANY OUT OF MILLIONS OF US INDIANS ARE BLESSED WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY IN THEIR LIFE TIME.
YET THEY WOULD DREAM OF IT.THESE YATRA'S WHICH A PERSON USUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THEIR LATER STAGE OF LIFE.
MORE OFTEN SETTLED PEOPLE SEND THEIR PARENTS AS A MARK OF LOVE TOWARDS FAMILY.
BUT IN JUNE 2013------------ IT WAS LIKE THE WORLD CRUMBLED.THE SO CALLED CLOUD BURST PLAYED HAVOC AT THE VERY ABODE OF THE LORD KEDARNATH.IT WAS LIKE A EARTHQUAKE IN FORM OF WATER.VILLAGES/BUILDINGS/MEN AND ANIMALS ALL WASHED AWAY IN A MATTER OF NO TIME.IT WAS LIKE THE BENGAL'S BLACK MAGIC.
PEOPLES TO THE TUNE OF HALF A MILLION ARE FEARED AFFECTED/DEAD AND MISSING.LESS IS TO BE SAID FOR PROPERTIES.THE WHOLE AREA IS IN RUINS.
WHY THIS HAPPENED IN 1ST PLACE ALL TOGETHER.
WELL,TIME AND AGAIN ,ENVIRONMENT WATCHERS HAD SPOKE OF DANGERS OF UN ENDING PROCESS OF NEW COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTIONS NEAR RIVER BANKS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
NO ONE CARED OR PUT AN EAR TO IT.
THE RESULT IS THIS.RIVERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE CHANGING ITS FLOW WHILE CREATING SILT ON ONE SIDE.
RIVERS HAVE NATURAL TENDENCY TO MOVE IN SERPENTINE PATTERN.IT RESULTS IN ''LAND EROSION'' ON ONE SIDE AND SILT DEPOSIT AT THE OTHER END. WHERE THERE IS CURVE,THE WATER HITS THE CONCLAVE BANK BEFORE MOVING ON.SO THE LAND KEEP ERODING. WHERE THE WATER IS NOT ABLE TO ERODE A PIECE OF LAND ,IT GETS LIKE A CAGED LION UNDER CONCRETE STRUCTURE OF BUILDINGS.
WHEN EXCESS OF WATER GETS THROTTLED UNDER THE STRUCTURES WITHOUT ANY OPTIONS OF REMEDIES,THINGS LIKE KEDARNATH CALAMITIES HAPPEN.
FIRST OF ALL,THERE SHOULD BE A UNI FORM LAW IN THE COUNTRY REGARDING NEW CONSTRUCTIONS NEAR 1 KM OF RIVERBEDS.RATHER IT SHOULD BE BANNED ALL TOGETHER.THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT BODY TO LOOK AFTER ALL THE ASPECTS OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
STOP GAP ARRANGEMENT,WHAT SO EVER,CANNOT PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.BECAUSE EVERY TIME THESE TYPE OF ARRANGEMENTS SHALL BE WASHED AWAY.
WHERE THERE ARE EXISTING STRUCTURES MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE EMBARKMENTS OF AT LEAST 6 FEET UNDER THE RIVERBED TO PREVENT LAND EROSION.
THE NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMET BOARD SHOUD BE REORGANISED AND REVAMPED WITH FUNCTIONARYS OF REPUTE INSTED OF DECORATIVE PIECES.
LASTLY,ITS SAID THAT THE PRIME MINISTER WAS THE CEO NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT BOARD.BUT FAILED TO CONVENE ANY AGM ON FORMULATING A NATIONAL CONSENSOUS.PITY.
