Not every soil is plain soil and fit for digging, moving, and blasting. "Himalaya is one of the youngest mountain ranges, in high seismic zone and to top it all is a proscenium of extreme climate events. And yet, they draw a plan on autoCAD, same perhaps as they made for Sarojini Nagar redevelopment, or copied from Hongkong, and got it ‘passed’. Our engineering colleges, to begin with, need to start teaching SOIL-TYPE : alluvial, laterite, desert, black cotton, peaty, and more.

All construction cannot be stopped as survival of local public is also to be looked after, but yes it needs to be reduced to a bare minimum, putting a strong capping on the number of tourists allowed per season.
These development work were approved by central govt in last few years, they lots of people were against of such thoughtess development
