सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने नहीं सुना जोशीमठ केस: याचिकाकर्ता ने कहा था- केंद्र को मदद के निर्देश दें…SC ने कहा- चाहें तो हाईकोर्ट जाएं

On Sunday, the work of demolishing Hotel Malari Inn and Mount View of Joshimath started.

The Supreme Court immediately refused to interfere in the Joshimath crisis. A bench of CJI DY Chandrachud, Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala said that the petitioners can approach the Uttarakhand High Court if they wish to declare the crisis a national calamity.

Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati had filed a petition in this matter. The petition demanded that the central government be asked to declare the crisis a national calamity and help with the repair work. Also, immediate relief should be given to the residents of Joshimath.

On the other hand, two more hotels have leaned towards each other in Joshimath, Uttarakhand. Their names are Snow Crest and Comet. There was a distance of about 4 feet between the two hotels, which has now reduced to just a few inches. The roofs of these two hotels are almost colliding with each other. That is, these hotels can collide with each other anytime.

In view of security, both these hotels have been evacuated. Both these hotels are 100 meters away from where Hotel Malari Inn and Mount View are. The process of demolishing both these hotels has started on Sunday.

The State Disaster Management Authority team reached the spot to demolish both the hotels.

Hotel Malari Inn and Mount View being demolished by hand
The demolition work, which started on Sunday, is being done under the supervision of the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) Roorkee. CBRI Chief Scientist DP Kanungo said that the hotel cannot be repaired. There are houses around both the hotels, so it is necessary to demolish them. The hotel will collapse further, which will cause more damage. That’s why they will be dropped as soon as possible. Mechanical dismantling techniques are being used for this.

He said that we cannot use any kind of heavy vibrating machine here. We have to save the land. For this, special training has been given to the workers. We are trying to ensure that there is minimum or no vibration inside the ground.

Thakur Singh Rana, the owner of Hotel Malari Inn, had said – There is so much pressure from the adjacent hotel building that my hotel is about to collapse. I am helpless, I cannot say anything. Can anyone be happy if their hotel is being demolished? Till now there has been no talk about compensation with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, I have no information about compensation.
