“I, have written to irrigation department to trace the sanctioned budget for the work and start utilising it with immediate effect, so that the houses of the villagers could\u00a0 be saved from floods during summer and monsoon months,\u201d said the DM.<\/p>\n
Gram pradhan Munni Devi said that besides these nine families, who have their houses close to river bank, over 25 families in Mankot village of same sub-division are also\u00a0 living in tents after June 9, 2021 floods and waiting rehabilitation. “These families also want either rehabilitation from flood prone areas or protective measures to save their houses and land, ” said Munni Devi.<\/p>\n
Asked about the reasons of continuous\u00a0 landslide by river Gori in that area, Narendra Parihar,\u00a0 local resident and a scientist at GB Pant institute of Environment and Development at Almora, said that due to climate change, glaciers in high Himalayan region are receding and melting speedily, resulting into high flow of water in summer months.” In past years, landslides on river banks used to take place slowly \u00a0but in last 30 years, due to fast melting glaciers river are getting much more water which triggers landslides on the banks ,”said Parihar.<\/p>\n
Besides Talla Ghururi village, other villages of Gori river valley are also affected by landslide.” The villages of Hudki, Mori,Lumti, Bagicha Bagar, Umangara and Bhadelibagar, are also badly affected. The village of Mori has lost entire fertile land of the of the village in continuous cutting of land by river in last 30 years,” said Parihar<\/p>\n
Pradeep Kumar, district level geologist has said that the flooding is more due to several rivulets falling in the river in monsoon rains.” The construction of river embankment\u00a0will not work due to high speed\u00a0 and velocity of water during Monsoon, regular clearance of river bed\u00a0seems to be the only solution of the problem as of now.” said Pradeep Kumar.<\/p>\n
