The potential avalanche from the hanging glacier could severely impact nearly 400 buildings in Badrinath, including essential facilities like a helipad and roads. Agricultural land and forest cover in the vicinity are also at risk. The findings underscore the need for heightened awareness and preparedness in the region, especially given its importance as a hub for the Char Dham pilgrimage. While the threat is not immediate, the consequences of an avalanche could be significant for local residents and infrastructure.
