&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* The biggest reason why Joshimath is sinking is related to the geography&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* CM has said that the situation in Joshimath is being closely monitored&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;*The city serves as a tourist rest stop and a staging ground for armed forces&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Joshimath -- a small Uttarakhand town located on the site of an ancient landslide -- has seen an explosion of construction and population in the last few decades. The winter abode of lord Badrinath, a staging ground for troops posted along the Sino-Indian border, and a sort of a base camp for Himalayan expeditions, Joshimath is making headlines for the wrong reason: it is sinking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Residents are protesting and have raised concerns about the land beneath the town sinking. Residents say houses have developed cracks and that they are forced to find support structures to keep their homes from falling under their own weight. Over 500 houses in the region have developed cracks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A team of experts recently conducted a survey and revealed that the fear among residents was true: the city is actually sinking at its base. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that the situation in Joshimath is being closely monitored. There is more to it than meets the eye when it comes to this disaster waiting to happen in Joshimath.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;*The city serves as a tourist rest stop and a staging ground for armed forces&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Joshimath -- a small Uttarakhand town located on the site of an ancient landslide -- has seen an explosion of construction and population in the last few decades.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Residents are protesting and have raised concerns about the land beneath the town sinking. Residents say houses have developed cracks and that they are forced to find support structures to keep their homes from falling under their own weight.
