bibliography of chamoli flood tragedy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The 2021 Uttarakhand flood began on 7 February 2021 in the environs of the Nanda Devi National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the outer Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand state, India (Maps 1 and 2). It is believed to have been caused by a landslide, an avalanche or a glacial lake outburst flood.[3] It has caused flooding in the Chamoli district, most notably in the Rishiganga river, the Dhauliganga river, and in turn the Alaknanda—the major headstream of the Ganges (Maps 2 and 3). At least 72 people are confirmed to have been killed.

The Rishiganga power project on the Rishiganga river, a tributary to the Dhauliganga River, was damaged and 35 laborers working on the project are missing.[8] The Chamoli district in Uttarakhand appeared to have been hit hardest by the surging Dhauliganga River. The Dhauliganga Dam at the confluence of the Rishiganga and Dhauliganga rivers (at 30°33′45″N 79°34′33″E) was washed away by the floodwaters. Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Trivendra Singh Rawat stated that flash floods also impacted a much larger hydro project owned by the NTPC with around 176 laborers working on a project which had two tunnels where those workers were trapped. Senior police officials told media that a bridge in the Tapovan area that connected 13 villages was washed away in the avalanche.

Among the places most severely hit by the floods are Joshimath, Rini, Nanda Devi National Park, Tapovan Vishnugad Hydropower Plant and Sridhar.
