Spread The Viralist



Uttarakhand’s Joshimath is sinking after cracks appeared in houses, temples and hotels. Situated at an altitude of 1890 meters in the Garhwal Himalayas, residents are living in constant fear of a major disaster and are forced to spend day and night in bone-chilling winter. Unplanned construction, topography, and geology are some of the factors that make this temple town highly vulnerable. Watch this video to understand the science behind subsidence in Joshimath.

  1. Where the decision to build tunnels around joshimath deliberately taken during congress era sidelining Or to hurt hindu sentiment?
    is it a conspiracy by congress to destroy hindu religious places? Has the congress always sidelined hindu sentiment in the past will they do the same in future? Was it the congress which bought the hindu bill, rules only for hindus and not for others? We're all big hindu temples taken over by the state due to legislation by congress?was the congress created by british? Is the congress a tool of british empire acting as indian entity ? Are the British still ruling india through congress? Is congress part of abrahmic agenda? Have the congress sidelined hindu history? Have the congress glorified mughal history ? was there a rule legislated by congress by which hindus were not allowed to start and run educational institutions and only muslim, Christian, other minority community were allowed? We're the hindus always discriminated by the congress because of their masters with abrahmic agenda?

  2. Human being does not know how to protect nature,they only know how to destroy it.Just wait and watch nature will recover by herself then you understand..can't you leave nature ?

  3. Why are you not showing the char dham connection project and underground tunnel which were govt projects despite of several reports on not to make them!

  4. With bjp and Congress as 2 options the whole country will meet this fate. When all the natural resources and sensitive areas r given to adani ambani v will b destroyed

  5. NTPC is responsible for this.. both bjp and congress contributed to destroy our Uttarakhand.. if Uttarakhand dies, you will also not survive.

  6. As of today still heavy construction of central government mega projects going on they won't give shit about some middle class people losing their houses

  7. Hahahaha 😂, this is India and the mind set of Indians who neglect sensitive and dangerous situation. The concept of safety is not in the dictionary for Indian brains, rather think selfishly for own financial gain. Take it easy attitude. And this leads to trouble and sufferings for the next generations.

    First of all, each government offices are stationed with corrupt officials. They aren’t there for the welfare of the citizens, instead take bribes and give trouble for citizens like this one.
    Good luck 🙏🏻

  8. Aur chahiye Development. Le lo apni Gaand mein. Purani baatein log jo likh aur keh gaye hain maan lene mein kitni dikkat hai logo ko.

  9. This what happens when politician are uneducated, they promote construction in sensitive areas just to earn some money through corruption. Not only joshimath but this entire nation will go down someday because of these uneducated 5 th class fail politicians.

  10. If ground is not strong we cant build and sustain….environmental changes , extreme usage of under ground water ,more and more buildings..will have effects..
    These are the causes and so there will be effects.
    We humans expect that we keep.doing harm to nature and expect nothing to happen.
    Cause and Effect is a very basic of our existence.

  11. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  12. Why repend make new Joshi math development authority to find new horizons and further action for the project. Civilization gone and rebuild. It's nature. Enjoy the boon. Signals from God. Make new. Parivartan shristi ka niyam Gita ka gyan. Every thing has expiry date. Think how to get new conceived City. Where and when Target how. Plan future ahead

  13. This is all because of government ignorance. Or do bjp ko vote.
    Now government is not providing proper help also to them. Not helping them to shift. Just gave order to stop construction after 10 days and that is also partial.
    AAP government would have handled this situation very well.

  14. भारत में कठोर नसबंदी होनी चाहिए तुरंत, भारतवासी इंसान नहीं हैं बल्कि शैतान हैं जो सब कुछ बर्बाद कर देते हैं

  15. यह बर्बादी का ट्रेलर हैं उन सब मूर्ख भारतवासियों के लिए जो विनाश पुरुष मोदी के कथन “सब चंगा सी” को ही सच मान रहें हैं
