One should first study what is the terrain of the Uttrakhand. The construction and development activities in the region has disregarded the ground realities. The construction activities have been done on river bed. The river flood plain has been restricted by the development and commercial activities. In my opinion , there is no possibility of interlinking of rivers within this Himalayan region. Probably the mini hydro projects have been constructed using improper design practices. The huge crowd of people travelling this region added to the problem. As usual no consideration was given to the rainfall warning. There are so many short comings of administrative machinery and policy makers, that this disaster was unavoidable. Now let us hope, the government of Uttranchal and Government of India will take corrective measures, so that such disaster may be avoided in future.
