The horror and
immense tragedy of the loss of human lives and unprecedented destruction of
homes and livelihoods in the Kedarnath, Chamoli and other regions of
Uttarakhand is still unfolding. The
numbers of those killed is rising every day.
The urgency of immediate rescue and evacuation operations for the
thousands who are stranded cannot be emphasized enough. The Central Government must extend its full
support to the State Government including for funds and materials.
It is essential for
the State Government to harness the energy of all political parties and
citizens organisations to devote their entire united energy into providing
relief and succour to those affected. It must also enquire into the role that
the indiscriminate tunneling of the hills by power projects and the huge dumps
of silt which were never cleared, had to play in this terrible tragedy.
Young India Movement extends its deep condolences to the families
of those who have lost their lives. It
expresses its sympathy and solidarity to the lakhs of people affected. It calls
upon its units all over the country to collect funds and materials urgently for
relief to those affected.
