Joshimath land sinking: According to the Chamoli District Disaster Management Authority, 603 buildings in Joshimath town have developed cracks so far. A total of 68 families have been `temporarily` displaced, officials said.
As the land subsidence and cracks in houses increase in Joshimath, the Uttarakhand government ramps up continuous health checkups for those affected in the Joshimath subsidence, informed officials on Monday.
Chamoli District Magistrate Himanshu Khurana on Monday said the Joshimath area of Uttarakhand has been declared disaster-prone, with the increasing land subsidence and cracks detected.
A team from Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) on Monday reached the 'sinking zone' Joshimath to analyse the damages caused to buildings for compensation.
