From past over a week, the natural disaster happened in Himalayas has
occupied everyone’s mind space. But was this disaster really natural?
Large scale
devastation happened in Uttrakhand due to heavy rains.. But this tragedy partly
can be attributed to as natural and partly manmade... large number of houses
and hotels were made on the banks of river which interfered in the flow of
river.. Large scale commercial activity made eco sensitive area prone to
disaster like this. Entire Mountain behind kedar nath temple toppled on the valley
below thus covering entire kedar ghati with up to 2 mtrs. of rubble.
However, thousands of
people died in the tragedy. Once again our army did wonderful job and saved
over more than one lakh people.
There was one thing
that was even more disappointing than shity politics happened over the
incidence. On an eminent news channel, I saw following news piece.
The exact words were:
महादेव की महिमा अपरंपार है. केदारनाथ में
सिर्फ 'नाथ' का बचना इसी शिवलीला का हिस्सा है. तबाही ने भले ही केदारनाथ में तांडव
मचाया हो, लेकिन प्रलय भी मंदिर का कुछ भी नहीं बिगाड़ सका.
Really? Even on such a
sad incidence, all they care about some bloody TRP’s? As per the question of
temple standing, the walls are about one meter thick, while other houses and
hotels had walls at most 9 to 10 inches thick. So it was not a miracle. But
once again Indian media has proved its lack of immaturity and greed even in
such a tough times for the whole country.
