I would also like to report the recent incidents of collapse in the Himalayas taking place...The reasons that have been cited by the experts are fractured or fragile rock, water seepage, landslide-prone Himalayan rock system, lack of geological and geotechnical studies, improper study of CR zone, and failure to design an escape tunnel.

Parliament Winter Session Highlights: Hello and welcome to the Parliament Winter Session Live blog, please follow this space for all the latest updates and news on the Winter Session of the Parliament which began on December 4.
The winter session began just a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party swept the Assembly polls in three out of four states — Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.
On the eighth day of the Parliment's Winter Session, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be introducing the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in Rajya Sabha today afternoon. Earlier, the bill was passed in the Lok Sabha.
On Friday, Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha after a discussion was held in the lower house on the report of the Ethics Committee in the 'cash for query' that was tabled in the Lower House today.
Among the bills that are scheduled to be tabled in the House during the Winter Session include the new bills to replace the IPC, Criminal Penal Code and the Evidence Act besides the bill on appointment of the chief election commissioner and other election commissioners.
Ahead of the start of the Winter Session of Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi advised the Opposition not to take out the anger of their defeat in the recently-concluded Assembly elections in the Parliament. PM Modi said that the Opposition parties should come with a positive ideology.
"If I speak on the basis of the recent elections' results, this is a golden opportunity for our colleagues sitting in the Opposition," said the Prime Minister.
"Instead of taking out your anger of defeat in this session, if you go ahead with positivity and learn from the defeat and leave behind the tendency of negativity of the last 9 years, the country will change their point of view for them," he added.
