- They are some of India’s most picturesque towns, sited along the Himalayan range. But now, the ground is sinking beneath them.
In January 2023, buildings in the important pilgrim town of Joshimath collapsed, causing thousands to flee their homes in the dead of night. In the aftermath, over 800 structures were found to have developed cracks, and many were condemned by the authorities. Poor construction practices and climate change have become an existential threat for Joshimath.
The plight of Joshimath has sounded the alarm bell for other settlements in similarly precarious positions. Will this spell doom for India’s mountain towns?

I visited the beautiful pilgrim town of Joshimath (from Europe) recently and I miss it already. Such beautiful mountains, and wonderful, warm and kind people. I really hope it won't collapse and they manage to solve it. 🙏🙏🙏
Another gem from CNA INSIDER. Doing better reporting & journalism than all Indian News TV media combined.
Basically the officials and uneducated people ignored a scientific report and constructed without any thought. As usual the extremely poor urban planning that is prevalent all over India, with not even proper sewerage and drainage and poor quality construction has contributed to yet another disaster.
Great Documentary. Just to let you know there has been a blanket ban on reporting of the Joshimath Saga.
The main problem why the town is sinking is too much of Hydel Energy Projects have been setup in its vicinity.
The Ecology of the town is fragile, once the digging and blasting goes on in the mountains to set up a Hydel project it disturbs the fragile Ecology not to mention the huge water loss from underground Aquifers due to constant digging resulting in sinking of the town
The major problem is the population boom of joshimudh, the whole city is made on the landslide reminence...
The hydel project is just the tip of ice burg
Who banned the reporting? That’s terrible😢
My family is from Uttarakhand, recently my uncle constructed a two bedroom home in one of the cities but he spent more than year, he made sure he did the construction in a way that does not damage the environment, he said many people from outside of Uttarakhand are doing construction unethically in the name of 'development', eventually the Pahadi people (indigenous mountain people) will all be displaced from their home in the future if this type of development along with climate change, continues.
This goes on everywhere even in the US where the rich from cities systematically displace the lower income people from mountains and beach-side.
Common in India and Nepal even Pakistan even in mountain regions they are building concrete instead of wooden buildings.
Same is happening in cities of Jharkhand, outsiders especially from Bihar are illegally building houses on river banks and hills.
@@soniag4516 Its not really the same at all. In the US, and other western countries there are strict building codes, and buildings are inspected by a state official to make sure its done properly. Indian buildings are built by total amateurs who ignore all the rules, because they dont even know the rules. Many Indian buildings are built by the owner, not a professional building company.
The other thing is, in western countries, you cant just build anywhere you feel like. The city must provide infrastructure first like sewerage, electricity, drainage, roads and they have to zone the area for residential buildings,
Every body knows...whta written in kalyug..wil happen .....people will strts to stop .but it's already wriiten in texts that in kalyug river will go to vaikunth ...people do what they want .but they cannot go back
Many more hill stations and spiritual places in the mountains will see this. There is just too much construction in the mountains. Slopes can't handle all that weight.
Build a Ram mandir and one Monkey mandir there, it will stop all problems and will be chamatkar there.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
@@habib-jr3vh also build a muhammad masajid and a gadha masajid for buraaq. Phir dekho moajaza.
Apart from dusty farms, habitat and land loss, we can't blame constructions for much, given that these are often done under safety standards, and studies are conducted, reviewed and cites before any such construction. Sure we got corruptions and crony capitalism here at parts which are needed to be addressed, but these are required for ever increasing demands of people residing here, and keep them up to date.
The main issue lies with global warming, which rn, is affecting most sensitive of the areas, Himalayas, where I live, is one of them.
We all are collectively responsible for it, for especially not calling out oil companies , and keeping a mum.
I lost my house to a slide with no warning. This mountain is warning people to give them a chance. It’s a blessing regardless of what brought the slides on at this point.
I am so sorry 😞 BEST WISHES

Wow never seen this part of India - its so beautiful
Northern Himalayan region, Western ghat region in d South-West & particularly d isolated/unique North-East India r naturally stunning...last one, a lush tropical region bordering SE Asia, is also one of d most demographically diverse regions in d world, an unexplored natural/cultural paradise that is virtually unknown outside India. Most people only have a stereotypical image of India which is entirely based on d barren/overcrowded North-West India around Delhi, ignoring rest of d vast & beautiful country!
@@NayanJB Indeed people get an image of India always from polluted, overcrowded cities full of dirt in the streets . Luckily India has still some quiet not overcrowded areas where there's still beautiful nature.
This is my homestate. This region is very different from other parts of India and even our culture and facial features are different from indians.People don't believe I'm an indian
Therefor stay away from that places!@@sloeberdoet
One problem is lack of wooden houses in these hills. Concrete buildings are too heavy for such sensitive zone and are dangerous during earthquakes. Wooden buildings are light, look beautiful, relatively safe in earthquakes. India needs to promote wooden buildings like japan and establish a proper logging industry for that
right. but also the hundreds of years old stonehouses in the himalay survived every strong earthquake without cracks. in these old houses cracks started occuring with the dynamite blasting for roads and tunnels. sometimes several kilometers away, because the blasting among other damages also lets sometimes break waterbearing layers which can lead to huge areas sinking. also josimath started only sinking in big way because of the modern development without taking into account the geological situation, only based on shortsighted greed.
Not practical.
The construction has only aggravated the problem. Joshimath is built on the remains of a landslide which itself is part of a geologically unstable ecosystem .
True I don't understand why India and Nepal even in mountains villages building homes made from too heavy concrete products.
@@babahanuman83exactly, you're point on!!
This is a really well made documentary. Thank you, producers.
Sad but is happening due to the interplay of terrible reasons... lack of respect for the earth we live in; unchecked development; zero environmental assessment; poor town planning; corrupt politicians and officials; the race to outdo one another; and underlying all is sheer greed. But when disaster strikes... the victims blame everybody else for their problems. I feel bad for them but they need to own up as well. PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE VERY OBLIVIOUS TO HAPPENINGS AROUND THEM.
What used to be a beautiful suburb (in Madurai, Tamilnadu) of nice homes and a pleasant environment twenty years back is now commercialised and messed-up due to unchecked development - rows of retail shops fronting these homes, entire streets turned into commercial centres, wedding halls next to small homes, no drainage system, flats next to small homes creating water and sanitation problems. Local officials don't care at all... and the people who buy these properties are just as guilty. Ugh!
And during a visit to Chopta from Denradun in december 2022... its unsettling to drive on a highway that is peppered with at least 15 landslides... with debris effectively blocking one lane. Sad! Really sad!
True. Whoever has approved these constructions in zones without following rules should be sued. These officers should be held responsible for their actions.
At present this is the same situation in the state of Himachal pradesh in India, people are suffering, in my town it rained for continues 3 days, in which landslide occurred, whole piece of mountain cracked up, leading to loss of many houses and life's
Human beings are themselves responsible for all this, no one to blame to
People always want to blame others for their misfortune. They forget that they themselves have contributed in this disaster.
@@Eric..Cartman true that
himalayas are young mountains, that means they are still growing, so erosion etc is normal, monsoon is also a big reason, its particular indian climate and geology, its not anyone's fault, ideally brick/concrete house should not be made on hills, only wood/bamboo/tin houses should be made.
This is good comment.
I too live in Himachal.
I keep my surroundings clean, preffer to walk for most part, leading a healthy life.
Many hare do the same, yet we face the consequences, thnx to whom?
We are ready to plame "humans", but fail to point out, which humans...
You can't win against the power of tectonics or erosion. You have to build with it in mind. The age of these towns is what has cursed them as scientific planning was never part of the equation, understandably.
No Problem Dear. Just keep
1.Inviting multitudes of Tourists/Pilgrims,
2.Keep building more & more Hotels/Resorts,
3.Keep Building wider Roads for Army vehicles Movements,
4.Build more Heavy Hydro-Projects,
5.Keep Voting for Modi/Dhami/BJP,
Worry Not. If the Mountains come Crashing Down, Modiji will hold them up on his Wide Shoulders aka his wider Chest like a Current-age Hercules🤣😜😝😝just Enjoy.
P.S: Hats-Off to all of the Esteemed Environmental Scientists/Geologists/Researchers/Activists for their Yeoman Efforts at trying to save an unavoidable Himalayan Disaster. But this Region's & Our Voting Electorate Don't Deserve your Tenaciously Diligent Hard Work, seriously. These folks are only good for clashing cymbals/pots & pans and Dancing around Bonfires with their Mobile Torches On, just the way they managed to keep away COVID (on the advise of our most beloved, super-Param-Gyani-No-it-All Hon'ble PM)
The only constant in the mountains is change, the day the mountains stop changing is the day all humanity should worry.
Why so? Genuinely asking..
@@oorjaamishra69because it gs unnatural!
When the administration and the government is keen on promoting any small town into a tourist place, that place will become chaotic with more humans coming in to cash on the opportunities.
That scientist speaking at 31:47 is Govt sponsored scientists to speak in favor of govt to cover up the mess they created despite warnings were given
After watching the video for 10 minutes, I kept asking myself why these people are living in the mountains, who sold the land to them, and who gave permits to build houses and so forth. It is quite sad to see your home vanish before your eyes, something you have invested your whole life to build. The government of that part of India has a huge responsibility to rebuild and restore the people displaced by something they neglected to foresee and avoid. I understand that nature's forces can be unpredictable, but it's difficult to comprehend why people were allowed to live in an area with a history of unpredictability and unsuitability for human habitation, let alone build an entire town there. Such incidents are seen all over India, where authorities neglect human and environmental safety factors and fail to have a well-planned policy to avoid these situations.
They have been living there before there was any country in existence on the planet.
Tell me you are an idiot without telling me that u r an idiot.
these are holy pilgrimage spots a steady stream of visitors go to worship, some leave others stay on
Humans have been living in the Himalayas since humanity has existed. My ancestors have been living there for centuries
They have been living for thousands of years
If they woulda stuck to wood instead of concrete this wouldn’t have happened the mountain can’t hold up the weight of all that steel and concrete it’s a miracle it’s held on this long
Mountain ranges first push up skywards then start to crumble and fall to the sea. There are some unnerving videos on the Internet portraying these scenes...even in places where human beings haven't messed around with the landscape.
I cannot begin to understand the suffering of these people seeing the world they’ve always known, vanish into the darkness of the earth. Now saying that, I’ll say this, suicide is NOT the answer my dear, change, no matter how drastic,happens. If I was a millionaire I’d love to help somehow. I truly believe you’re receiving prayers and I do wish you and yours the very best. Please stay strong and god bless.
Wanting to be "rescued". Refusing to accept that this will only get worse. Refusing to evacuate. We people want what we want and are awfully stubborn. The Himalayas are still growing! Being pushed up from the inside can also impact the surface tension stability. They need to scout those mountains for stable sites & evacuate the sliding areas except for day use. Or the people accept their fate. You can't eat your cake & have it too.
I live in a flood plain. Being subject to these unstoppable forces is grinding. I guess that's life. The more dramatic examples of change are the ones we notice, but it's happening constantly, everywhere and it ALWAYS WILL. Climate change: the natural phenomenon just recently noticed, lol.
You don't have to protect the Himalayas for the future of the humanity, you have to protect the lives of the people who are living in the Himalayas now!!!
I was astounded when he said "we have to protect the himalayas". Protect a mountain range from the people dying on its surface?
Why? Most of them moved there in the last 50 years to make money from tourism industry. Most of these people are not native to the region. The problem is, the Himalayas are a live mountain system. They are constantly moving, thats why they are so high. The indian sub continent is moving north and crashing into the Asian plate. This movement caused the Himalayan mountains.
The mountains are constantly moving.
Indians need to ask themselves if they want to pay billions of Indian money to protect the lifestyle of 30,000 people in a tourist town. They also need to ask if the serious risk of earthquakes, floods and 30,000 dead people is worth the risk. Indian government could spend billions to make it safe as possible, but it will never be safe.
@@tubester4567 My point is, you cannot stop the Himalayas moving. The government should step in and move the people away from the mountains. After all, I'm sure tourists bring in money and lots of businesses have built around Himalayan tourism.
@@1.masterpieceThere was slways pilgrimage, kind of tourism in Himalayas.But it was environment friendly
Don't tell me the indians also worship & consider the himalayan mountain their god? If so, why isn't the god(s) protect them from disaster? In this age, nothing is safe & unpredictable.
I pray they find a solution. Beautiful place and lovely people. I almost felt like I was right there. Great video. 🧡🙏🏻
Well articulated documentary🤟💌
Stop encroachment, deforestation, uncontrolled building and protect unsafe areas and finish local corruption - point made!
Bound to happen, shows again our lack of care for Mother Nature and our “worries” for wars that make profit. Stop the drilling, stop the wars and one would see Mother Nature is not so disturbed, the question now is have we gone too far…. I’m praying for these families to have safety, homes, food and for Mother Nature to be protected and loved as she deserves to be. Thank you to those who are speaking up and doing their work to protect this. And watch who speaks and their “opinion “ who’s paying who for what information.
Prayers for them always ❤
Excellent videos, well researched
Due to the weights of all the houses and buildings the cause of ground shifting after glaciers are melted. It's happening around the world
In between ice ages, some peaks of temperature have occurred a number of times, especially around 125,000 years ago. At this time, temperatures may have been about 1°C to 2°C degrees warmer than today. Sea level was 5 to 8 meters higher than today. So I think we are at the beginning of a new ice age and the land heating and shifting, whole Mt ranges moving or disappeared completely is part of it as we know from history this is how it starts, and we have moved up the timeline of this natural occurring age by a several hundred years. 😔
Unfortunately erosions are inevitable. In central Australia, only Uluru remains of what was once a mountain range formed where tectonic plates met hundreds of millions of years ago.
Deforestation is the issue ...I'm also from hill we should have to plant trees at high amount..
These are my native people and it hurts to see them in such a situation.
Mountains have always moved... That's how they became mountains...
Too much greed , Now these people rely on tourism for there living , they are forgetting that how there ancestor survived on that same land without tourism . Mountains belongs to people who want to live peacefully with nature , we do need any kind of development in Mountain region . Please leave us alone thank you
Are you ready to give up your mobile phones, budd?
Yes I believe. U might have to give up many more, good luck with that.
If not, then it's better to think of sustainable ways of living here, alongside development.
I'm from the very same Himalayas, and I know the requirements here. Now even traditional old people need phone, transport, TV, hospital, electricity.
We need to figure out how to have these in more efficient and stable way.
what the hell are you talking about? this is happening because central govt is literally cutting mountains in this area for the convenience of you tourists...so stahp acting like you know anything and stop blaming the people because its mostly you mainlanders who are benefitting from tourism
We all will lose, and we have to understand this.
Another informative and thought provoking discussion from CNA INSIDER. Thank you. 🇺🇲👊🔜
सभी आपदाएं हिंदुत्व के बाद होती हैं, आतंकवादियों द्वारा मुसलमानों पर हमले होते हैं।
Very sorry to see this, we hope everything will be fine with all the residents of affected area
Well it won't
Even the temples are mostly made of wood.. not brick and cement.. is lighter and more adapted to the mountains
It is negligent to not mention the huge solar blanketing (geo engineering ) program that’s been manipulating the climate for decades.
Yes weather manipulation, Directed Energy Weapons, geo-engineering...equals climate change. Same devil all over the world. The govt, the rich corporations, their supporters are behind all the human suffering. Depopulation agenda has been well documented
One can only feel sorry for the people but humans can’t control nature, forget that on your own peril!
Plan n construct new/satellite towns. Designate only a certain population to these towns, such that it’s not a burden on d land n environment. Allow only ground n one storie house, using local materials n technology. Plan for public spaces like playgrounds, gardens, town centre etc…
With agenda 2021/2035 , no more small towns will be built .... People will be put into the so called smart cities aka jails .... Google and read

You just are NEVER going to “manage” the Himalayas. Good luck!
India, all talk but nothing really changes. And the government continues to waste money on ridiculous projects.
The development will have consequences but everyone must remember that the planet is a living, breathing, EVOLVING entity. Trying to stop mountains moving is like King Cnut trying to stop the tide.
Thanks for a great documentary🤲🙏♥️ Cape Town
No one can change or protect the mother earth for its nature
Except Father God who sits on His Great White Throne and laughs at rebellions men's plans.
Where does human will fit, in your narrative?
Uttarakhand is old NEWS, wait another year or 2 and you'll see similar bs happening in Himachal Pradesh, some has already started but since there were no major relegious sites like the Chaar Dhaam, no one is paying much attention. Himachal will be popular for the death toll.
Government should only allow wooden homes on Himalayan region
65 million years ago the mountains did not exist. They are always moving, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, and they will never stop moving, and nothing that humans do will prevent or accelerate that.
I am so glad to have spend the happiest years of my life in the Himalayas....but I am so sad to see what has become of the wonderful land which made my heart sing with joy.....and wich I left in the forests 😭
Oh the irony of all the pilgrims coming to these towns for worshipping!
Brilliant , beautiful
Unfortunately, both Uttrakhand and Himachal Pradesh are doomed
Good documentary from Malaysia.
Himalaya is a young and unstable mountain range. It will move, can't help it.
...Can't stop it.
You're wrong. You dont know whats happening there
Always side with natural science over faith...
Earth needs triage
Climate deniers are forgetting that we're in it together and that the innocent generation stands to lose it all.
Our beautiful garden home at the abyss.
Do not disturb the nature
In cemtral java indonesia..the villages there are maintaining its sorrounding green and lush.its very different from any other mountain villages..
All Indian hill towns which have allowed rampant construction are done for. Esp Uttarakhand and HP.
Dehradun, the once lovely capital of UK, is groaning from excess construction n commercialization. Plastic waste is choking the hills. Landslides are common.
The incidents in Joshimath and the floods earlier in Kedarnath, now in HP are just little hints. Not sure if anything can be done now...
The mountains are prophecied to fall down and the islands will be moved out of their places. There have many prophecies fulfilled recently.
No one is talking about rampant corruption.
People don't generally like to acknowledge it, but the earth is forever moving. Erosion and natural change is inevitable. If the mountain starts moving, you gotta move yourself unless you wanna be taken down with the mountain. We survive as a species by adapting.
This is the result of construction are striking anywhere without any considerations of the invironment! Good luck!!!
Oh dear 😰😢
Man made disaster are glaring at us, we humans never learn,
Human habitats,or any other habitat, evolves over time,it localised, be it food or shelter .
Mountain ranges have different evolution,it's people and other life forms.
Look at the houses built over 500 years, it evolved because of its climate and it's terrain,
Sustainability is in understanding the process it evolved, our greed has killed our rational approach.
Landscape change time to time. Humans always must be ready for change many places in 🌍 Erth. Mountains always growing. Rivers, oceans get dry. Deserts getting grin. Our planets geting change, noture fight with Humans for not carrying our Erth properly. This century we need to be ready for many change everywhere in Erth.
...and the population continues to grow disproportionately and this means that the cycle of destruction will continue because more and more houses, roads and anything else will be needed to produce food and everything we use. Proof me wrong.
Real feelings 😢😢😢
“The most intense climate lie”: Last week it was all over the news: Temperatures in southern Europe skyrocketing to 48°C! But none of it was true!
“What we experienced over the past days was most intense climate lie since temperature recording began,” reported Germany’s Achtung Reichelt here on the implications of the ESA’s sloppy, manipulative press release and the media firestorm that ensued: “The problem with that report is that none of it is true.”
In Sicily the temperature reached only 32°C over the weekend - a far cry from 48°C, which illustrates the great difference between ground surface temperature and readings taken 2 meters above the ground.
Land surface temperature is how hot the ‘surface’ of Earth feels to the touch. Air temperature, given in our daily weather forecasts, is a measure of how hot the air is above the ground.”
The ESA did not bother to mention how the surface temperature is much hotter than the 2 meter air temperature."
There are no survey done before they start building those structures, so it's too late for these guys!!
Does the chinese side of himalaia, the big cities also have the same problem of sinking, landslides and pot holes caving because of infiltration? Does the Tibet side have it?
Please start rehabilitation now, before it's too late.
They have to drain the water from the soil and let it flow on the surface to the river. Dig drains like a farmer in the west does to grow crops. Drill a horizontal or sloping hole in the rock and let the water seep out.
Thanks
We want money even if we have to destroy the earth. Money, money, money
Earth is already destroyed. Earth will slowly liberate itself from its worst plague which is called humans.
The Holy Bible warned us "The love of money is the root of all evil."
It seems the engineers knew a lot of things about constructions and knowledge, but they don't applied it in actual building construction and Indian govt., dosent do anything ro implement those applied science!!
This is the result of very poor management of infrastructure deagng constructions are very bad, no drainage and adequate
Planning! Yeah it's in india what can you do!!
Meanwhile where was India PM at that time?
Playing with his gopas
Concrete construction may be unsuitable for the region.. deforestation and development causes the soil/ rocks to shift as nothing anchors them. Unfortunate 😢.. but it’s like Türkiye that is on convergent tectonic plates. People need to move soon, you can’t negotiate with fault lines or plates..
In any other country they would have evacuated the WHOLE town after the original report !!! It's basically built on sloppy mud - CRAZY !!!
So sad 😞 😢 poor people !!!! Terrible situation

Recap by Tammy AI
Heard that this place is a holy site. But it seems like their gods already abondened this place.
I'm pretty sure "God" knows our species is an experiment gone bad ...very very bad.
long gone with the wind and soil
God is everywhere. But humans in every religions go to specific places. One must respect the ecology of the place, for humans.. God does not disappear from any place.
It's different vibe different world 🌍....
Lol my village is in uttrakhand kumaun..we all know the fate ..that soon the house in our village ll collapse but got used to it
Beautiful documentary and it's happening because God said it would happen. The Bible tells us that the mountains will move out of their places. Sweet Jesus is returning soon. ❤ prayers and love for all.
How do you know he's sweet and not savoury? Have you tasted him?
Where do humans fit, in your narrative?
What responsibilities do humans have, in our current imbroglio?
Himalaya towns are sunken
And thus now people will be scared to travel there
No more human encorchment
My heart breaks for these people. Our Earth has never been kind to the beings that dwell upon her surface. To expect her to behave any differently this day is to believe a cloud will swoop down to allow us to live upon its surface. When the Earth moves we move with it. We move lower, we move higher. The middle no longer accepts us there. A new home will be made and it will last as it should in the arms of the unstable earth. Please don’t be sad. The cracks and creeks and collapses give you time to take your families and important items away. Ceremonies will follow. Salvation destinations will also follow. Much love and light to all of you.
Indiscriminate construction in the name of "Development" and "Chaardaam Dev Bhoomi" has compromised the entire Uttarakhand. No lessons are learnt from Kedarnath disaster. "Facilities for pilgrims" are put-up, and roads are widened by cutting through mountains making them unstable. But the biggest culprit is the multiple hydel power plants being developed all over mountains from Kashmir to North east. These massive hydel plants accumulating massive water, blasting, tunneling and joining rivers and streams, is putting massive weight on the mountains, making mountain's unstable, and if there is a cloudbust which is nornal in the area, disaster is imminent. The same situation is rapidly developing in Jammu Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal, Sikkim, Arunachal, and many other hill states. To illuminate the billboards of Delhi, Mumbai and other cities, himalayan hills are compromised 😢😢
In the US roads & highways are built cutting into mountains, through mountains, hillsides ect but we granite rock in most places.
This. the most sensible comment in the whole comment section
Obviously if you over develop with poor construction on glacial moraine, eventually buildings will shift. Blaming this on made made climate change is a hoot. Ice age events start to melt as soon as they reverse the peak of cold. The Himalayan mountains are there because of plate tectonics that never stops and is another obvious factor in the changes to the geological foundations.
How can we save the Himalaya when human don't respect nature and world countries didn't stop polluting the atmosphere. Nature is nature at her own will we are at her mercy.
We must not play with nature instead follow nature by eco-friendly ways for coexistence for the sake of sustainability.
What can we expect lots of constructions, lots of people..
I do not see this as a problem for india, just a slight challenge.
Where does the food come from to support so many in such remoteness. ? Hard life.
"Climate change" is actually adhidaivika klesa. Miseries inflicted by the demigods. The question is, why are the demigods giving increasing troubles to humanity? Is it because humans do not follow dharma correctly?
Maybe those demigods are none other than super rich oil controllers, whome we lack any spine to call out , often giving into their "personal carbon footprint" bs.
Home is where common man invests time,money, dreams and lot more not easy loosing same particularly if u can't build another one.
The lady says she has no options, but the man from the government said they are giving them money. 🤔
The narrator needs to correct the pronunciation of Himalayas...
