The Gangotri glacier located in the Central Himalayas is receeding at an increased pace every day. The rate at which the glacier shrunk has been around 61 feet every year from 1935 for the next 35 years. But presently the rate has almost doubled, thanks to the emission of green house gases and the resultant Global Warming.
The Gangotri Glacier almost 29 kilometres long and 2-6 kilometres wide feeds the Gangatic plain to its south, which in turn is the home of a population numerically equivalent to that of the European continent, whose lives are solely dependent upon the river.

ReplyDeleteKudos to the High Court, Kolkata. Right you are. Immediately adequate number of CNG depots are to be established by the government as has been done in Delhi. You may be remembering a ruling in the same line given by the Delhi High Court. For once kudos to judicial activism. But it is unfortunate the legislature remains paralysed and moronic and do not play a proactive role. Perhaps the First past the post mode of the Indian politico-electoral system is required to be speedily done away with... Is anybody listening?
