The rescue operations for the tragic glacier burst which killed 11 and triggered massive flooding in Dhauliganga and Alaknanda Rivers causing grave damage to houses and the nearby Rishiganga power project is still underway. Reportedly, over 203 people went missing after the tragedy.
Activists said that despite discussions, none of the conservation activities have actually translated to work on the ground so far
NOIDA: Despite discussions and promises of conservation, Dhanauri wetland is a poor show for birders this migratory season. For those who have been trekking all the way up to the green fields and the main wetland area this season, it has not been much of an excitement because the main water body that is central to the wetland has shrunk and is crowded with hyacinth leading to very little surface water available for waterfowls a marked contrast to Surajpur which is a conserved wetland.
