Experts Warn of Disaster Risk in Uttarakhand Road Project

Experts Warn of Disaster Risk in Uttarakhand Road Project

Experts are worried that a road-widening project in Uttarakhand could cause a disaster like the one in Dharali.

They say building roads in the current way could be dangerous because it ignores warnings about the area's fragile environment.

They have a different plan that would be safer for the mountains and cause less damage.

They also point out that the area has seen a lot of construction, which might break the rules.

They say that this has made the area more vulnerable to natural disasters.
