Nature whispers warnings in kedarnath - But are we still too loud to listen?

Over a decade after the devastating 2013 floods that nearly wiped Kedarnath off the map, signs of environmental instability are once again emerging. Sudden landslides, melting glaciers, unusual cracks, and irregular rainfall patterns have reawakened fears: Is Kedarnath on the edge of another natural disaster?
Experts warn that unchecked human activity might be fuelling this danger. Construction of roads, hotels, and helipads continues to surge, often with little regard for the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. Pilgrim traffic has increased exponentially, putting pressure on local resources and accelerating deforestation, pollution, and geological disturbance.
Scientists and environmentalists alike caution that nature has its limits. The Himalayas aren't just spiritual symbols - they are living landscapes that demand balance and respect. By turning sacred spaces into over-commercialised hubs, have we forgotten what reverence truly means?
Perhaps these new signs aren’t just warnings - they're questions. Will we listen before it's too late? Or will we wait for another tragedy to teach us humility?
