Unprecedented destruction by the rainfall witnessed in
Uttarakhand state was attributed, by environmentalists, to
unscientific developmental activities undertaken in recent
decades contributing to high level of loss of property and
lives. Roads constructed in haphazard style, new resorts
and hotels built on fragile river banks and more than 70
hydroelectric projects in the watersheds of the state led
to a "disaster waiting to happen" as termed by certain
environmentalists. The environmental experts reported
that the tunnels built and blasts undertaken for the 70
hydro electric projects contributed to the ecological
imbalance in the state, with flows of river water restricted
and the streamside development activity contributing to a
higher number of landslides and more flooding.

Thus we conclude that it is
not only nature even man is
responsible for natural calamities.
Man may progress in all fields but
when nature is against him, that’s
the end of mankind.
