Man-made disaster: Chamoli’s unnatural calamity

The magnitude of the glacier melting disaster is much more than a mere glacier burst and consequent flood. That comes only as a warning shot. The rise in two-degree Celsius over 40 years trimmed 10 meters of the ice cap. Environmentalists have never stopped warning that we have been unheeding regularly. We used to consider their warning only as a senseless shouting that we took indifferently. Or, we used to think of such a disaster only as a regional issue. We consider Chamoli disaster only as a Uttarakhand issue.
