Unplanned infra projects to climate crisis: What ails fragile Himachal, Uttarakhand

Experts attribute the recent floods in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and New Delhi to the climate crisis, active geology of the region, and infrastructure projects. The Himalayas are still forming and are prone to erosion, heavy rainfall, and landslides. The region also faces the challenge of receding glaciers. The combination of these factors will continue to cause damage during extreme weather events. Proper land use planning and sustainable development are essential to minimize loss and damage. Environmental oversight on infrastructure projects is currently lacking. | Latest News India
