  2. Welcome back to a news channel.
  3. Vivid unraveled the truth behind potential disasters which are professed
  4. in the name of development in the light of recent
  5. events. Let's go with the history of on track and
  6. and the disasters it has faced ever since then, whether
  7. or not flash flood disaster in 2013, it has been
  8. noticed that the region of the account has been facing
  9. a lot of natural disasters such as flash floods, landslides,
  10. cloudburst, mudflows, among many others in the past few decades.
  11. Ask the report submitted in parliament 2016.
  12. Twitter account has the highest number of unstable zones among
  13. North Himalayan state Himanshu tradition and union territory of Jammu
  14. and Kashmir.
  15. Scientists have revealed that due to geological instability and ecological
  16. sensitivity, the physical state of Uttarakhand has become increasingly fragile
  17. over the years.
  18. The constant degrading situation of the region has been caused
  19. due to multiple reasons.
  20. Heavy rains, deforestation, cloudburst, landslides are all man made disasters
  21. which are the result of a developmental policy of constructing
  22. the hydropower projects like dams.
  23. Let's talk to one of our viewers who is live
  24. with us right now.
  25. Thank you and chica.
  26. You mentioned some of the ecological consequences of how dams
  27. came to a meeting.
  28. However, the repercussions are much less interested.
  29. They have social, emotional and physical aspects to them, which
  30. are followed by corruption and violence.
  31. The construction of dams is accompanied by the opening of
  32. penetration roads, Muslim immigration, an escalation in illegal land grabbing,
  33. logging, deforestation and mining.
  34. If by mistake, the project isn't as safe as it
  35. is intended to be, then it also leads to massive
  36. deaths which happened in the form of flood or landslide.
  37. Such projects lead to displacement of indigenous people from their
  38. homes and lands, which also takes away the means of
  39. livelihood. Not only that, these concrete walls and hydroelectric dams
  40. have environmental damages where they destruct or make exchange some
  41. of the unique habitats in freshwater ecosystem.
  42. It is also seeing that these projects Celis greenhouses gases
  43. and somehow to have higher ambition than coal fired power
  44. plants, which while generating the same amount of electricity.
  45. This is direct effect on the melting of glaciers in
  46. Himalayas, creature and recent of act of it is the
  47. disaster which are put on 7th February in under the
  48. National park Are you in a school board headed site
  49. that leads me to my next point, which is that
  50. hydropower projects put hated site at risk and many times
  51. affects them too.
  52. Such as in this case, that was very enlightening.
  53. Thank you.
  54. Recently, we have also started following the policy of circular
  55. economy which includes the four hours reduce, reuse, recycle and
  56. recover. But in that exists the downside known as you
  57. go on paradox with states that increasing efficiency leads to
  58. more consumption, not less.
  59. Is that why we have started building more and more
  60. dams to satisfy our increasing consumption?
  61. See, the paradox exists in the society when there is
  62. an increasing efficiency in already existing resources.
  63. But in the case of fight of our projects in
  64. Uttarakhand, it has been noticed that the dams which are
  65. already built, are also not functioning at the full capacity.
  66. One of the biggest examples is the leader.
  67. Using hydropower is not wrong, but exploiting the resources at
  68. the expense of socio environmental cost is unacceptable.
  69. Mhm. So what do you suggest would be the best
  70. thing to do next?
  71. From now on, should we stop constructing more dams or
  72. should we construct them, but at the same time ensure
  73. that we don't cause further damage as well as don't
  74. exploit the resource.
  75. This is a difficult question to answer.
  76. As of now, there are a total of 336 hydro
  77. projects which are inter already happening under construction or proposed.
  78. So personally, I would suggest that we start constructing anymore
  79. damps here.
  80. We need to adopt the policy of adoption and medication
  81. mitigation needs to happen on a larger level between the
  82. legislature and the executive branches of India.
  83. They need to stop allowing such projects to keep happening
  84. in such vaginal areas, especially after knowing the sins are
  85. those effects of the physical property and personal life also
  86. the environmental side effects which it can cause.
  87. They should also provide proper accommodation to people who have
  88. been affected by such projects.
  89. Adoption needs to happen on a local level.
  90. We should happen in the condition itself.
  91. People need to start standing up for themselves and not
  92. give in to their immediate great Often they are lured
  93. by the government or companies to sell their lands for
  94. a lump sum amount which they never get these people
  95. need to be made aware of the fact that their
  96. lands are much more valuable than the capital, which is
  97. offered to them by these corporations.
  98. If they are tended to set their lands, then they
  99. can. Then they should approach the appropriate authority which can
  100. help them out.
  101. That surely was very informative.
  102. Hope our viewers will benefit from our today's section.
  103. A very important aspect of creating change or making change
  104. or asking for change is firstly being informed about the
  105. change. Awareness is the key to achieving the change.
  106. Hope to see all the change makers tomorrow back here
  107. at the same time.
  108. Thank you.
