KKN Gurugram Desk | An avalanche struck near Mana village in Badrinath at around 7:15 AM on March 1, 2025, trapping several workers under the snow. These laborers were engaged in clearing snow for military movement in the region when the incident occurred.

Avalanche Hits Border Area Near Mana Village

The snowfall-prone region of Mana village, located near the India-China border, is known for its harsh weather conditions. Frequent avalanches and landslides make it one of the most challenging terrains. The workers, assigned to clear snow from key military routes, were caught off guard as the avalanche struck suddenly.

Rescue Operations Underway

Authorities have launched an immediate rescue operation to locate and save the trapped workers. Local administration, the Indian Army, and disaster response teams are working together to remove the snow and search for survivors. Heavy machinery and rescue equipment have been deployed despite extreme weather conditions making the task difficult.

High Avalanche Risk in the Region

The Himalayan region, particularly around Badrinath and Mana village, often experiences heavy snowfall and sudden avalanches. The unpredictable terrain and sub-zero temperatures pose a constant threat to workers, soldiers, and pilgrims visiting the area. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier issued an avalanche warning for higher altitudes in Uttarakhand.

Why Is Snow Clearance Important?

The border areas in Uttarakhand remain covered in snow for several months, making movement difficult. Workers regularly clear snow to keep strategic roads accessible for military convoys and essential supplies. The avalanche has now disrupted operations, and authorities are assessing the situation to ensure safety and quick restoration of connectivity.

Past Avalanches in Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand has witnessed several deadly avalanches in recent years, particularly in high-altitude regions. In 2022, an avalanche in Draupadi Ka Danda resulted in multiple casualties. In 2023, an avalanche in Nanda Devi National Park trapped several mountaineers. Such incidents highlight the dangers faced by workers and soldiers in these extreme conditions.

Government Response and Safety Measures

The state government and disaster management teams are actively monitoring the situation. Efforts are being made to improve safety protocols for workers involved in snow clearance operations. Officials are also considering the deployment of advanced weather monitoring systems to predict such disasters more accurately.

The Badrinath avalanche near Mana village has once again raised concerns about safety in high-altitude areas. With rescue operations in full swing, authorities are working tirelessly to locate the missing workers. As the region continues to face harsh winter conditions, ensuring better disaster preparedness and timely alerts is crucial for protecting lives.
