Reema
This was one of the most challenging disasters till date at Kedarnath so much so that even after few days also it was really tough for a human mind[->0] to calculate the loss. It made everyone busy. Media is covering as much as they can. Indian army, air force, navy all are focusing here to save the human lives. Still death[->1] is uncountable along with other losses.
Analysis differs. While the administration insists that it was a natural calamity, environmentalists hold that this was a man-made disaster waiting to happen. Basically the environmentalists, exports and activists say unplanned development and rampant felling of forests responsible for the scale of disaster as per the news on “The Times of India[->2]” on Thursday, 22nd June. Let’s look into the might-be causes in more detail and also practically.
The main cause is like this. Extreme rains have wreaked havoc at Kedarnath. If we’ll look closely then the main reason is the stream of unexpected water by rain. Now till this point we’ll peep into the depth more detail. According to the position of Kedarnath, it’s situated in the middle of the peaks (here Google map can be helpful). In this position in case of any heavy rain fall, water supposes to come down to the surroundings of Kedarnath main temple. Then the question arises if it’s so, then why didn’t water pass through the surroundings?
The age of Kedarnath is unknown. Hindu mythology[->3] relates the existence since the period of Mahabharata. By that time[->4], the temple was standing almost alone waiting only for the devotees and nature had dug two lines for water to flow down whenever water comes from the peaks surrounded by Kedarnath itself. But for us it’s not wise to think about the unknown past. Let’s go back to few years. Might be 30-40 years is enough. Before the disaster, Kedarnath was surrounded by huge crowd including many infrastructures. Due to the unplanned development, the two river beds besides Kedarnath have been filled gradually
