‘Human greed causing death and destruction in the Himalayas’ – BBC News


After two successive landslides killed dozens of people in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, people are still reeling from the shock.

Known for its lush valleys and snow-covered mountains, Kinnaur district in the state is a major contributor to the hydro-power generated in the Himalayan state.

But can dams alone be blamed for disturbing the region’s ecology?
