In Mana village of Uttarakhand, on February 28, eight laborers were killed due to Evely.
Learn in detail why come to Evely.
Geological SP Sati talks in detail about Mana. SP Sati says this valley is known for snow avidus (avalanche). Just above the Badrinath temple, a human eye is a rock -like rock, due to which when the arrival of Evely, it diverts on the other side and the temple remains. The reason for the temple being intact for hundreds of years is its site selection done with this intelligence.
In view of the possibility of Evely, triangular structures have been created above the temple. In fact, during the abundance of the glaciers, hundreds of years ago, the peaks of the hills of this region had some troughs, on which small glaciers were made. These glaciers are called mountain glaciers or relatively large glaciers in large pits as circle glacier. When the order of melting the glaciers started, first of all these small mountain glaciers ended, then the number of Circle Glaciers came. Now some of these glaciers are left with some filled pits with stone, which can be called Reliant Circle or Reliant Mountain Glacier or Hanging Glascal sites.
In the incidence of fresh snowfall, these pits fill more snow because fresh snow holds are less, so this fresh snow month breaks down from its weight and falls rapidly, this is called Avadhav or Alanc. In March 2021, a lot of laborers were casualties in a similar process in the Girthi Valley (tributary of Dhauli). On this incident, we had published a small letter and identified the sensitive areas of this valley, where it is likely to come to avalanche.
The workers’ camp in Mana was located in a similar possible area. Now the question is, why do these Events mostly come in the last week of February and March April? The reason for this is that in December January, the temperature of the earth is very low, so the amount of water in the snow during this period is less, the density is high and due to the frost, the grip of snow is stronger, it does not move down easily from the ground. Understand this something like this, when you take out the cold ice plate in a small plate, the ice will stick on the plate, not slip, but in some time when the ice starts melting, first of all it will leave the catch from the surface of the plate.
One aspect of the remarkable change in climate is that it is now often seen that western disturbances have now shifted to the last week of February, March, April and even summer. The snow of March April does not make any difference in the size of glaciers as this ice melts quickly. Apart from this, there is a possibility of more avilage, the western disturbances in summer create severe havoc in the Himalayas with the humidity of the monsoon. The Kedarnath tragedy of 2013 is an example of this.
Lack of experience is responsible.
Mountaineering instructor Sunil Cantola Mana says at Alag. The forest departments identify those areas where there is a possibility of coming to avalanche with the help of satellite, where there is a possibility of arrival and explosion, with the help of satellite. Although there is no back country skiing in the Himalayas, but in the strategic marginal areas, military safety and related development work continues and due to lack of experience, such accidents happen. In order to deal with snow -related accidents abroad, self -help groups remain active, there is a need to bring serious related technology and management in this subject.
The result of the gross negligence of the laborers there.
Veteran mountaineer Subhash Taran says that first of all I want to say that many media reports have come in the village that the glacier is broken in the village, there is no glacier far and far and it is a incident of arrival of avalanche due to fresh snow falling. Subhash says that the workers getting stuck there are a result of gross negligence because there is a basic thing in the mountaineering for a night even for a night, then it has to be seen how many degrees above the stopping place is, it is being told where these workers stayed in the container. The laborers will not know how many degrees are not to be stopped under the shield, but the BRO officials should know that there should not be a camp under thirty to forty -five degrees shields, there is the highest risk of avalanche in such a place. The BRO is responsible for the construction works of the road in the Himalayas, they need to pay attention to the future.
