Joshimath Crisis: Scientific Ground Demands for Sustainable Solutions

The Joshimath Bachao Sangharsh Samiti has urged that the plans to address ground subsidence in the town be guided strictly by studies from national scientific bodies.

During a press conference, the committee criticized the state government's current projects, worth over Rs 600 crore, for lacking a clear scientific basis.

The committee demanded immediate interventions in sensitive areas and compensation for displaced residents, underscoring that scientific conclusions should steer government actions.
