Heavy rainfall has triggered widespread flooding and landslides across northern India. These extreme weather events have disrupted essential services and tragically resulted in the loss of life. Reports from officials and local media indicate that approximately 34 people have perished in the affected areas. Further rainfall is anticipated for Wednesday, raising concerns about the potential for continued devastation.
A significant landslide occurred on Tuesday near the Vaishno Devi shrine, a prominent pilgrimage site. This devastating event claimed the lives of at least 30 individuals. The incident underscores the severity of the ongoing crisis and the vulnerability of communities in the region.
This recent tragedy follows a series of downpours in the Himalayan region. Last week, the Kishtwar area of Indian Kashmir was struck by severe weather, resulting in the deaths of 60 people and the disappearance of 200 others. The cumulative impact of these events highlights the urgent need for disaster relief and long-term strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Why do we keep allowing people to build homes in such high-risk areas?

There are too many political distractions while people are suffering. This needs to change!
