Ganderbal (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], March 5 (ANI): A massive avalanche struck the Sarbal area of Sonmarg in Jammu and Kashmir‘s Ganderbaldistrict on Wednesday.
There was no loss of life or injuries reported. A video of the avalanche was also caught on the camera.
Snow avalanches are most likely to occur after a fresh snowfall adds a new layer to a snowpack.
Avalanches can be triggered by natural forces, such as the pull of gravity on a steep slope, earthquakes, warming temperatures (weakening the bonds between the layers), wind, terrain, vegetation and general snowpack conditions.
They can also be caused by human activity, such as the load of a skier, construction/development activities or by use of explosives (to set off hazardous slopes) as part of avalanche control.
The Himalayas are well known for the occurrence of snow Avalanches, particularly the Western Himalayas – the snowy regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Western Uttar Pradesh.
There are three types of snow avalanche zones – Red Zone–The most dangerous zone that has an impact pressure of more than 3 tonnes per square metre.
Blue Zone: Where the avalanche force is less than 3 tonnes per square metre and where living and other activities may be permitted.
Yellow Zone: Where snow avalanche occurs only occasionally.
Currently, scientists are not able to predict with certainty when and where avalanches will happen.
However, they can estimate hazard levels and designate vulnerable zones by checking on the snowpack, temperature and wind conditions.
By building large, sturdy structures to anchor snowpacks and ban unsustainable developmental and tourism activities in Avalanche hazardous zones. (ANI)

Provide evidence or drop allegations against Akpabio, Adeyanju tells Natasha

Human rights lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, has called on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) to present concrete evidence to back her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Adeyanju stated that without verifiable proof, Nigerians should not dwell on the matter.
He urged the public to focus on more pressing issues, such as the Tax Reform Bill and its potential impact on low- and middle-income earners.
According to him, solid evidence would lend credibility to Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claims and warrant public scrutiny of Akpabio’s actions.
However, without such proof, the allegations remain unsubstantiated.
Adeyanju also argued that the controversy had been overflogged and should be resolved in court.
He criticised the selective outrage over the issue, noting that there was little public reaction when lawmakers received luxury cars and budgetary allocations.
He also questioned why the same senators now engaged in the dispute did not oppose the anti-people policies of the current administration.
“The question I have asked is this: when all these anti-people policies of the Tinubu government were being implemented, why didn’t these senators—who are now fighting over allegations of sexual harassment and concerns about ’embarrassing the Senate’—speak out against them?”
“When lawmakers were sharing cars in the National Assembly, there was no fight. When they were distributing money and budgetary allocations, there was no fight. But now, suddenly, we are hearing about a fight.”
Adeyanju further stated that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan should, as a matter of necessity, make public credible evidence to support her claims, especially since she has been denied a fair hearing in the Senate.
He said, “Senator Natasha has alleged that the Senate President tried to sexually harass her. Since the Senate has refused to give her a fair hearing, she should present credible evidence to back up her claim.”
“It’s very simple. The man has denied the allegation. So, if there are messages—perhaps invitations or suggestive remarks—she should reveal them and expose him. After all, he who alleges must prove.”
