An otherwise slow Sunday morning in Lasu village was disrupted by a strange occurrence — the Alaknanda river, by which it lies, had turned silver with shoals of fishes close to the surface. It was around 9am. Within minutes, some hundred locals had gathered, ready with baskets, buckets, pots, pans to “pick up” the fish — they didn’t even have to drop a rod or net.
What they could not have known was that about 70km upstream, in another hour or so, disaster was about to strike. And this was a precursor.
In Raini, the surging Dhauliganga would ravage everything in its path after a landslide-triggered avalanche flooded it. The Dhauliganga is the Alaknanda’s tributary. And those downstream from the river, in places far away from Raini — Nandprayag, Langasu, Karnprayag — saw what those at Lasu had seen. Innumerable mahseers, carps and snow trouts had filled the waters, were not swimming too deep inside and were sticking to the banks. “Fish always swim in the middle of the stream. It was abnormal. They were only swimming along the edges,” Ajay Purohit, one of the first to spot the fish, told TOI.
