Uttarakhand needs proper weather forecast mechanism: Himanshu Thakkar (Cached)	19.6.2013	CNN-IBN: India
Uttarakhand has always been prone to earthquakes, cloud bursts or flooding. While Himachal and J&K are also entirely mountainous states, they do not experience the wrath of nature as frequently as Uttarakhand does. Hundreds are dead, several hundreds more missing and thousands stranded as entire villages have been washed away in massive rains. It is time to understand whether this is a fallout of indiscriminate construction of dams and buildings, coupled with massive deforestation. Can anything be done to prevent such occurrences in future?
