Rain drenches the Nilgiris
UDHAGAMANDALAM: Heavy rain drenched the Nilgiris district on Tuesday, with Ooty receiving 37.1 mm of rain in eight hours from 8 am to 4 pm. Porthimund and Parson's Valley recorded 43 mm and 45 mm of rain, respectively. As a result, Ooty taluk experienced the highest rainfall among the six taluks in the district. Since the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a red alert for the region, the Nilgiris district administration declared a holiday for schools on Tuesday. All tourist spots in the district, including the Government Botanical garden, Government Rose Garden in Ooty, Sim's Park, Lamb's Rock and Dolphin's Nose in Coonoor were closed for the day following instructions from district collector Lakshmi Bhavya Tanneeru. Revenue officials reported no tree falls in the district, except for two incidents in Coonoor. While the day was predominantly wet, there were intervals of dry weather that allowed residents and visitors to move around the Ooty town. The town experienced a maximum temperature of 15 -14 degrees Celsius. The Nilgiris region has been experiencing consistent rain for the past two months. M Ganesh, a local farmer, expressed concern, saying, 'Since carrots are cultivated year-round and this is the harvesting period, too much rain could spoil the yield.' Horticulture officials indicated that the rain benefited seedlings planted in various gardens a week ago.

Devastation in Dharali spotlights climate change, indiscriminate construction
NEW DELHI: Horrifying visuals showing floodwaters and mud surging down a mountain and crashing into Uttarakhand's Dharali, washing away homes, hotels and a market in the Bhagirathi Ecosensitive Zone on Tuesday have once again put the spotlight on the impact of climate change in the upper reaches of the Western Himalayas. In this combo of three screenshots, houses being swept away in a flash flood at Dharali in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. (PTI) Experts said the impact was expected to be particularly devastating because of the extent of construction on what appears to be the riverbed of Khir Ganga, a tributary of the Bhagirathi. For now, officials have only confirmed four deaths but stressed that dozens were still missing. Locals have indicated that a massive amount of rainfall was recorded in the upper reaches of Khir Ganga. To be sure, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated that it was not possible to immediately confirm whether a 'cloud burst' triggered the flash floods. A cloud burst is a very localised phenomenon when an area receives more than 10cm of rain in an hour. 'There has been extremely heavy rainfall of over 30cm in parts of Uttarakhand in the past 24 hours. As you can see from the video, extremely heavy rain may have occurred in very high reaches. We have no way to monitor if it was in fact a cloud burst. But we know that there was extremely heavy rain,' IMD director general M Mohapatra said. 'The monsoon trough has been to the north of its normal position for the past three days causing concentrated, heavy rain only over the Himalayan foothills. When such continued rainfall occurs, in certain areas, the soil saturates and water overflows. The water is seen flowing downstream. There is also a cyclonic circulation over Bihar and surrounding regions, accentuating the impact,' Mohapatra added. Mallika Bhanot, environmentalist and member of Ganga Ahvaan, a civil society collective, said they had been seeing a major escalation in extreme weather events and associated disasters since 2018. 'Even before the Kedarnath disaster in 2013, there were two major cloudbursts in Assi Ganga and Ukhimath. But after 2018, we saw a huge spike in landslides in all the valleys. In 2021, there was the Rishi Ganga disaster in which 200 workers were killed in the tunnel after the glacier fell apart. Then there was the Joshimath land sinking, the Silkayara tunnel and a major rain disaster in Yamuna valley this monsoon. It is relentless. We are 100% sure that cloudburst frequency has gone up. The impact of cloudburst is also much more devastating now because of the amount of debris involved. Glaciers are melting and the debris from the glaciers are flowing with the river water. This is causing extensive damage every time,' Bhanot said. 'It is very important to note that the increase in disasters in Uttarakhand is not only because of climate change. You can see the anthropogenic signature in every such disaster. In the videos, we can see hotels and big buildings right on the riverbed. The river will take its route. It is only natural to expect that it will flow freely. Any hindrances to its flow will obviously cause disasters. The massive increase in landslides is again completely linked to road construction on the Char Dham route,' added Bhanot. Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari told Parliament last year that the last 150km-long stretch of Char Dham road, which will pass through the Bhagirathi Eco-Sensitive Zone, would have to adhere to a minimum width of 10 metres. At the time, the minister had underlined that the road had to be wide enough to move defence equipment, considering the strategic nature of the stretch which connects with the India-China border. He acknowledged that the stretch was landslide-prone and that efforts were being made to compensate for the loss of trees on the Char Dham route. 'This is about the Bhagirathi Eco-sensitive zone. This matter was in the Supreme Court. We had a meeting on this matter under the Chairmanship of Justice Sikri. We had discussions on this matter with MPs from Uttarakhand and minister from Uttarakhand,' Gadkari said in response to a question by Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan. Ranjan asked if the last stretch, which is yet to be constructed in the Bhagirathi Eco-sensitive Zone, would have a width of 10 to 12m like the rest of the Char Dham route. Gadkari said, 'Now the problem is not whether the width of the road should be 10m or less on the 150m stretch. The issue is that this is a strategic point which is going up to the China border. I cannot speak any more on this. But the road should be wide enough to move defence equipment because of the China border so 10m minimum is required.'
