00:24It was a very unfortunate
00:30event, it was not a glove, it was basically a glacier, a hanging glacier, it was slide
00:40and you know with it I mean you could see the boulders, soil, all that and then it resulted
00:48in a very you know high magnitude flash flood.
00:52So Indian Himalayas, if we compare it to Indian Himalayas, there are climate extremes
00:59and we were for the last few years concentrating on gloves, the glacier lake outburst floods,
01:07which is again an outcome of the climate change.
01:11So if you can see the eastern Himalayas, its variability is the highest in Nepal.
01:19This will happen within the southern mountains, in the eastern Himalayas that are different
01:22areas, where there are also the possibilities of growth.
01:26If we compare the Shemiru to Kashmir and Kashmir, we can see that, the waterability of the
01:32shoreline is the hydrogen water nearing water.
01:35This is for thehst-kashmar valley, the stream would be the most likely to be the
01:39So these scenarios emerge, especially in 10-15 years, we have seen that the frequency of these extreme events,
01:49the frequency of these disasters, such as flash floods, such as high-intensity rainfall,
01:55it's bad.
01:57So I think that our vulnerability of the people, the vulnerability of the infrastructure has increased.
02:06Sir, if we look at this, what is the situation in Himalayan region?
02:12It is attributed to climate change.
02:14Climate change is important or is it responsible for all the factors?
02:19The main trigger is climate change.
02:25Climate change is caused by the glacier.
02:28The glacier is caused by the glacier.
02:29The glacier is caused by the collapse.
02:33The flash floods are caused by the floods.
02:36The high-intensity rain falls.
02:39Even some cloud bursts also.
02:42That is a triggering mechanism.
02:44But the other cause of our high vulnerability, other than climate change, is our infrastructure,
02:52which we have established in those areas,
02:55whether it is our settlements, whether it is our tourist infrastructure,
02:58whether it is our hydropower infrastructure,
03:01whether it is our hydropower infrastructure,
03:02which we have placed downstream,
03:04they are becoming highly susceptible to these disasters.
03:09So, in my opinion, we will have to have a real look.
03:13Climate change is not so much control over the global phenomena.
03:18When all the humanity on the surface of Earth joins hands,
03:24we can minimize global climate change.
03:28We can't control over the global climate change.
03:29But the adverse impacts,
03:33whether it is on infrastructure or our resources,
03:36that we can't control over the forests,
03:38because we need to have a real look.
03:42We need to fix from this land.
03:45Let's look at the sea and this land.
03:46The movements of the parade is not safe.
03:49We need to break the water safely.
03:51We need to see the local communities in the area.
03:53We need to look at the sea and get the water.
03:56So the city for the land is not safe,
03:58The mountain is not safe.
03:59So, where do we need to look at the sea,
04:02How should we need to look at the sea?
04:06If you look at our Kashmir Valley, which are major settlements,
04:13such as Settlingarho, Anantanak, Baramullah,
04:16or other small towns,
04:20then if you look at these major vulnerabilities,
04:24there are two disasters,
04:27which are more of the vulnerabilities in these towns.
04:29We have seen a flood in 2014,
04:33and then the earthquake vulnerability.
04:36These are two disasters that we need to take care of.
04:40In 2014, we have seen that all of these towns,
04:43our central business district,
04:46Lal Chogh, 14 feet of water,
04:48in 2014.
04:50The other towns, whether it's Anantanak,
04:53whether it's Auntipara or Bishbara,
04:55or North Kashmir,
04:57or North Kashmir,
04:58or other towns,
05:01we have seen some of these towns,
05:02in Sohpur,
05:04we have seen a flood.
05:07In that regard,
05:10we have seen a lot of migration from small towns,
05:14villages to these major towns,
05:16including Settlingarh City.
05:17And if you look at it,
05:20you know,
05:21physiography,
05:22whether it's wetlands,
05:24we have established colonies,
05:26whether it's new settlements,
05:29in and around Settlingarh City,
05:31whether it's wetlands,
05:32whether it's Bimina,
05:33whether it's Hyderpura,
05:34whether it's Peerbhaag,
05:35whether it's Naugam,
05:36all these areas,
05:38these wetlands are.
05:39So, their vulnerability,
05:40both flooding and Earthquake,
05:43will be increased.
05:46So,
05:47there is still time,
05:50that people,
05:51or governments,
05:52we need to access their vulnerability,
05:56multi-hazard vulnerability,
05:57both from Earthquake,
05:58as well as from flood point of view.
06:01And so,
06:02we need to have awareness,
06:03so that,
06:05in the eventuality of these disasters,
06:09whether it's Earthquake,
06:10or whether it's Zalzala,
06:11or whether it's a loss,
06:12it can be minimized,
06:15to minimize it.
06:16Sir, last part,
06:17this way,
06:18this way,
06:19natural climate is coming,
06:20like the Zalzala,
06:21or the other,
06:23or other,
06:23and the other,
06:24the situation is coming,
06:25that,
06:26that,
06:26that,
06:27that,
06:27that,
06:28that,
06:28that,
06:30So, these areas in the Himalayan region, the countries like Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, India,
06:36do we need to prepare a mechanism so that these disasters are a necessary mechanism in future?
06:46Yes, absolutely, it is very necessary.
06:48Because we are basically having the same geography.
06:52We are hosting the same geography.
06:55The term topography and our vulnerabilities are common and threats are common.
07:00And consequences and causes are almost similar.
07:04So, this is why I think there is always a merit in joining hands.
07:07But especially, I will tell you about the impacts of climate change.
07:13Climate change is a global phenomenon.
07:15If you look at this region, whether they are Hindu Kashmalias, India, Pakistan, China, Bhutan, Nepal,
07:26or small countries, they are majorly not responsible for climate change.
07:33Their contribution to climate change is very high.
07:36But they are facing the maximum brunt of the climate change.
07:40So, in 2024, there is a mechanism established globally that we call loss and damage.
07:49If any country has any damage because of climate change,
07:53for which they are not responsible, majorly,
07:56then it will be compensated.
08:08I think we are facing the maximum brunt of the climate change.
08:23And we need to be compensated for that.
08:25But I will tell you that there are some difficult political situations
08:30that are not going to happen.
08:32But because there is a joint cause for that,
08:35I hope this will help the countries to make a joint stand against the international community.
08:40Sir, last time, if you give Juma Kashmir,
08:42and Kishmiri, three majors, what should we do next?
08:47Yes, sir.
08:48.
08:48.
08:48.
08:48.
08:49.
08:49All over the South Asia or all over the country, our focus is post-disaster.
08:57If we look at 2014, the government of the government of the government of Kashmir has claimed that
09:04the 1,000,000,000,000 Indian rupees has been spent.
09:09And if we have been planning on the disaster in pre-disaster initiatives,
09:16So, if you have a disaster, you know, the damage is very low, very low, so, pre-disaster
09:23strategies and strategies to give you a need.
09:27In the same way, if you have seen that in disaster, there are some things that happen,
09:31whether it be disaster, whether it be floods, whether it be floods, whether it be
09:37settlements come from the house.
09:47I think we need to immediately assess the waterability of some of the important places
10:36and structures.
10:39I think we need to assess the waterability of some of the important places.
10:45I think we need to assess the waterability of some of the important places.
11:00I think we need to assess the waterability of some of the important places.
11:22I think we need to assess the waterability of some of the important places.
