New Delhi, March 4 : High resolution satellite imagery indicates that mass movement activities are still occurring where the rock and ice collapsed that led to a disaster in Uttarakhand last month, as per latest observations of national and international scientists.
In case of another slope failure and avalanche, this can be critical for people and infrastructure downstream, close to the riverbed.
On the another disaster in the making, scientists working under the Glacier and Permafrost Hazards in Mountains (Gaphaz) a standing group of the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences and the International Permafrost Association believe large volumes of material have been eroded and deposited along the river channel.
