Dev Raghvendra, an environmentalist and researcher of environmental science stated, “For sure, construction is important for the mountains and border spaces, however the fast build up in anthropogenic actions within the Himalayan area is an indication of an overly large danger”.
Consistent with Bikram Singh, director of the State Meteorological Centre, “Uttarakhand has been recording over the top rainfall within the foothills for the previous few years.”
