Newsticker
In the frigid heart of the Himalayas, a chilling reminder of nature's raw power brought untold misery and uncertainty to the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand state in India. On February 28, 2025, a catastrophic avalanche ravaged a construction site, leaving a trail of despair and uncertainty in its wake. As rescuers toiled tirelessly against harsh winter elements, the ghostly specter of 25 missing workers haunted the air.
Climate Change's Sinister Grip
Scientists warn that climate change's sinister grip tightens relentlessly, amplifying extreme weather phenomena that increase the frequency and severity of disasters like the Himalayan avalanche. The icy grasp of the warming oceans fuels tireless storms and relentless snowfall, while gushing downpours and bone-crunching icy gales ravage landscapes and break the resilience of ancient glaciers.
Himalaya-Gebirges kommt es vor allem im Winter häufig zu Lawinen und Erdrutschen. Wissenschaftlern zufolge verstärkt der Klimawandel extreme Wetterphänomene. Stürme sowie starke Regen- und Schneefälle werden durch die Erwärmung der Meere häufiger und heftiger. 2021 waren in Uttarakhand fast hundert Menschen ums Leben gekommen, nachdem ein Gletscherbrocken in einen Fluss gestürzt war und eine Sturzflut ausgelöst hatte.
The year 2021 bore witness to these forces at their most sinister, when a glacier fractured and sent a deadly cascade of water and debris surging across Uttarakhand, claiming nearly 100 lives.

A Terrible Maw of Snow
The avalanche that struck the Border Roads Organization (BRO) camp near mana village was born from the cruel and capricious heart of the Himalayas. Snow fell like the deluge of fury over a bubbling cauldron, heralding the arrival of misfortune.
Himalayas is prone to avalanches and landslides, especially in winter. Scientists say climate change is exacerbating extreme weather phenomena. Storms, heavy rain, and snowfall are becoming more frequent and intense due to the warming of the oceans. In 2021, nearly 100 people died in Uttarakhand when a glacier broke off and triggered a flash flood.
Adverse weather conditions conspired against the rescue efforts in the aftermath. Snowfall piled high in drifts, starving the brave men and women who sought to uncover the secrets buried beneath the avalanche's unforgiving grasp.
As of our latest reports, 33 daring rescuers discerned emerging signs of life beneath the mountain's breathless snow. Yet, the maw still held tight to the fate of 22 workers, their identities as concealed as the secrets of the Himalayan darkness.
