Badrinath Highway: Landslides in Karnprayag, an important stop on the Badrinath Yatra route, and landslides from the hills have increased the concern of the local residents. The affected house owners have requested the local administration and the government to assess the situation well in time and seek protection before the rainy season.

Irrigation Department’s Chief Engineer CS Pandey said that security arrangements will be made after the survey by expert scientists. He said that the landslide area will be re-surveyed. During this, while listening to the problems of the affected people, ignoring their self-interest, they termed the tampering with nature as a danger bell. In fact, for more than a decade, from the upper market mosque adjacent to the main market on the Ranikhet Highway to Ramlila Maidan, rains have been going on every rainy season. A landslide disrupts the movement of vehicles.
Here, due to lack of wall and proper drainage system under more than fifty buildings, the scope of landslide increases. However, after the rain stops, the landslide stops.But, saying that the matter is at the government level, the officials keep away from it. Similarly, the landslide happening on the highway from Latugar Ashram, Rajnagar, Electricity Department Colony to Gandhinagar is threatening. Whereas in Bahugunanagar and CMP band, cracks are continuously increasing in more than 30 residential buildings in the upper part of Mandi Parishad due to water flowing towards the buildings from Karnprayag-Nainisain motorway.
