MISSION RESCUE: ITBP troopers look for survivors inside a tunnel at a hydropower plant in the aftermath of the flash floods in Chamoli, Uttarakhand, on February 7
The disaster that unfolded on February 7 in the higher reaches of Uttarakhand after a portion of a ‘hanging glacier’ on the slopes of Nanda Devi broke off and triggered flash floods strikes yet another environmental alarm bell for India’s Himalayan regions. The glacial collapse, near Raini village above Joshimath in the state’s Chamoli district, sent a wall of water and debris down the Dhauliganga and Rishiganga tributaries of the Alaknanda river, causing significant destruction along the route, including damage to major hydropower projects.

Scientists are trying to determine the immediate trigger for the flash flood in Chamoli but, they say, the region’s vulnerability has increased over the years under the impact of global warming and local development activities.
The Alaknanda basin, the region of Sunday’s flash flood, had seven hydropower stations in operation, eight under construction and four proposed stations.
Mallika Bhanot, a volunteer with Ganga Avahaan, a citizens’ forum in Uttarakhand, has in a Twitter post described the Tapovan-Vishnugad and Vishnugad-Pippalkoti stations as “bumper-to-bumper HEP (hydroelectric power stations) on the Dhauliganga, a tributary affected by Sunday’s flash flood. ....
