Floods Are 'Mass Murder': Experts Blame Illegal Encroachment And Failed Governance, Not Rain

Environmental experts are calling the recent flash floods and landslides in states like Uttarakhand, Himachal, and Jammu and Kashmir a man-made disaster. The primary cause identified is not excessive monsoon rains but rampant illegal encroachment and construction on riverbeds and floodplains. Experts argue that authorities have allowed lakhs of illegal structures to be built in the natural path of rivers. One expert stated, "This is, this is mass murder. How can you allow human habitation? How can you, how dare you allow human settlement in the way of the river?" Another expert explained that due to this flawed development model, the Himalayan ecosystem is losing its resilience. Natural water channels have been filled for roads, exacerbating the destruction when heavy rainfall occurs. The consensus is that this is a failure of governance, not a freak act of nature. #floods #flashflood #landslide #itwebvideos #manmadedisaster #encroachment #illegalconstruction #uttarakhand #himachalpradesh #jammuandkashmir #monsoon #climateaction #environment #disaster #indiatoday #himalayas Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
