The National Remote Sensing Centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation has released satellite images of Joshimath, the Uttarakhand town gradually sinking because of land subsidence. It has revealed that a rapid subsidence of 5.4 centimeters has been recorded in 12 days between December 27, 2022 and January 8, 2023. The 12-day period of subsidence has been rapid, because between April 2022 and November 2022, Joshimath saw a slow subsidence of 9 centimeters. 

The subsidence zone is located at central Joshimath only including the Army Helipad and Narsingh Mandir, the satellite images revealed. The crown of the subsidence is located near Joshimath-Auli road at a height of 2,180 meters. Joshimath has been declared a land-subsidence zone by the Chamoli district administration after hundred of houses developed cracks within a few days and families had to be relocated as their residences have been identified as dangerous. While the government has announced an interim relief package of 1.5 lakh per family and is working on a rehabilitation package, the demolition of two hotels began on Thursday, though it was stopped due to bad weather and local protests.

Several experts have been roped in to analyse the sinking of Joshimath, while tunnelling work for NTPC hydel project is being blamed by the experts. NTPC, however, issued a statement claiming that their tunnel does not pass under Joshimath.
