rkt.india Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 90 dharmshala's were filled with tourists in kedarnath ' date='during flood,no trace of 60 villages and 3 kasbas,it will take atleast 3 years to norm conditions in kedarnath.chamoli,uttarkashi,rudraprayag,kedarnath city completely destroyed ,people have started arriving in dehradun to find there relatives.:(([/quote'] It all happened due to cloud burst on Kedarnath hills. Rain alone wont do such destruction. Neither this is the first time we saw such rain here but never happened such ruins. Cloud bursting can really destroy everything in close proximity to it, especially in hills where large amount of water coming down in high speeds will despoil everything that comes its way.
adi B Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 the rescue op has been pretty slow and not upto the mark..thousands of people are stranded but the rescue resources are limited,it will be better from today though with more help funded
adi B Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 meanwhile the kashmere gate area and tibetian market area in delhi have become swimming pool.the level of yamuna is slightly above the danger mark
adi B Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Most want to go NDA way but joining Army through NDA is getting difficult day by day' date=' so it is another reason for that. NDA now is more difficult than getting a good rank in AIEEE.[/quote'] aieee is khallas now,glad i gave the paper few years ago :proud:

Only choppers can go there.
rkt.india Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 did china blast one of the mountain :hmmm: I dont think that is what happened. Cloud bursting is normal and happens every year in hills at several places. Two years back, a cloud burst happened just 10-12 kms away from where my home is and it damages everything close to it. But it is the situation where it happened has made it more damaging because of the Yatra season going on.
Sidhoni Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 News channels were interviewing a man who had been rescued, he kept saying "Army bhagwaan hai, Army bhagwaan hai" :isalute:

Sachin=GOD Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Bhajji was also stranded there yeah.....and he was also helping the people there: Harbhajan turns counsellor for stranded pilgrims, tourists Cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who has been stranded in Joshimath, on Tuesday took the role of a counsellor alongside ITBP personnel as he met a number of pilgrims hit by incessant rains and floods. The cricketer is staying at the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) camp at Joshimath since the last three days after he too could not reach Hemkund Sahib gurudwara due to inclement weather. The off-spinner accompanied ITBP officials to the forces' barracks and campuses on Tuesday where stranded pilgrims are being provided food and medicines and talked to them. "He counselled them (pilgrims and tourists) that all would be well soon and that force personnel and others are trying to bring as much succour as they can. He gave them food and water and spent with them," a senior ITBP official said. The ITBP has deployed close to 600 personnel for relief and rescue operations in the state and has opened up its office and residential buildings for the people to stay. "Our jawans have even emptied their barracks to accommodate the people who are stuck. Every effort is being made to provide food, water and medicines through two private choppers that have been pressed in by the force," the official said. The force has spread its men to rain-hit areas in Kedarnath, Gaurikund, Govindghat, Pandukeswar, Karnaprayag, Badrinath and Uttarkashi. http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NorthIndiaRainFury2013/Harbhajan-turns-counsellor-for-stranded-pilgrims-tourists/Article1-1078472.aspx He has now been rescued by the Air Force.
