New Delhi. The world is constantly watching the devastation caused by the breakdown of the glacier in Chamody district of Uttarakhand. Scientists are also trying to find out after this incident all over the world. New York Times quoted scientists as saying that climate change could be a major cause of glacier breakdown in winter. Due to the rising temperature in his eyes, the frozen ice is melting on the Himalayas. Due to this, the glaciers present there can be dangerous. A recent research has also revealed that the glaciers, which supply water to millions of people, may end up mostly by the end of the century. Let us tell you that due to this accident, the Rishi Ganga project being built there has been completely destroyed.
Former Union Minister Uma Bharti said in a tweet after the accident that this is a bell for all the projects being built here. The area of the Himalayas is very sensitive, such projects should not be built here. He has also written that he also warned for this. According to environmentalist Anil Joshi, the dam that was swept away in this accident was just a few miles from the Nandadevi glacier. He says that this could be due to climate change.
Due to the rise in temperature, the glacier moved from its place and saw such a huge catastrophe. Joshi also believes that such constructions should never be done close to Glacier. Due to the breakdown of the glacier, the water came down like a storm and flowed in front of it. This talk of Joshi only confirms the opinion of scientists that it is said that the occurrence of breaking of the glacier in winter in this way is not normal.
The New York Times quoted eyewitnesses as saying that they saw it coming towards them. Its sound was so loud that it could be heard from far away. Some people shouted at others and asked them to run away. The latest report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working under the United Nations is also very special about this. It states that avalanche events have increased during snowfall in many parts of the world. Due to the rising temperature in the region of the Hindukush Himalayas, there has also been a change in the time of snowfall. As far as the Himalayas are concerned, let us tell you that there are more than 5 thousand glaciers in this area. They are considered dangerous due to rising temperatures.
