Описание: India: Uttarakhand Avalanche Survivors Receive Medical Treatment, Recount Deadly Disaster | N18G

Rescued workers who survived a massive avalanche in India recounted on Sunday (March 2) the deadly disaster that killed at least four people in the Himalayan mountain state of Uttarakhand earlier in the week. The avalanche struck a labour site of the federal Border Roads Organisation (BRO) on Friday (February 28), where eight containers and one shed, with 57 workers inside, were buried under the snow. "We were surrounded by five to six feet of accumulated snow but we somehow managed to crawl and reached the camp after four or five hours", injured worker Munna Prasad said in a military hospital in Joshimath where he was receiving medical treatment. Uttarakhand, which is located in the Himalayas, is increasingly prone to flash floods and landslides due to rising global temperatures, and environmentalists have urged a review of power projects and other development work there.
