Posted by [email protected] on January 10, 2019 at 7:35 AM Comments comments (0)

700 Villages Have Been Abandoned Due To Migration In Ghost Towns Of Uttarakhand: The migration from the undeveloped villages in Uttarakhand has seen a decline in the population in more than 700 of the 16,500 villages across Uttarakhand.

In the time period of merely seven years, 734 villages, especially the villages around the hills of Uttarakhand, have completely deserted, not a single soul living in them.

What Uttarakhand's Rural Development and Migration Commission, SS Negi said on this-

SS Negi, the Vice President of Uttarakhand Rural Development and Migration Commission, in an interview with PTI, informed that the houses in such ghost villages are lying in ruins.

The scenario can commonly be seen in Pauri Garhwal district where 186 out of 298 villages have been totally unoccupied. And the fact is that - district of Pauri Garhwal is the worst hit by migration.

Villages like Thalda, Toli, Khaira, and Ghiri, across the district, have more left alone homes than occupied ones.

The locals of Thalda, a village in Pauri Garhwal district, told Scroll that they had about 52 houses and a population of 175 at a time. However, today, fewer than 30 families live in this area and the population has dropped down to less than 100.

The Ratio of living is very less

In the State, there are also a number of villages where the population ranges from 8 to 10, on the other hand, with some places it’s even as low to just 2 or 3 inhabitants.

No one lives here

The condition is so critical that Negi when he once toured the Nainidanda block of Pauri Garhwal district, came across a village where no one lived; except for a retired postmaster and his wife, he briefed Hindustan Times.

Men are almost invisible

In the same block, there are even villages where not a single male is in attendance because these men work outside.

If and only if a woman dies in the village, men from the nearby villages are called up to carry the support for burial on their shoulders and participate in the funeral.

Farming here comes in bygone days!

The major source of income for these villagers was used to be Farming. However, due to the shortage of irrigation facilities the unpredictable weather conditions which turned the lands barren at a bizarre rate. This made residents necessary to migrate in search of work.

Negi gave explanations for the reason behind heavy migration rates, he informed Hindustan Times,

The foremost factors behind the high rate of migration from villages of Uttarakhand include lack of income avenues, non-accessibility of quality education and quality health care.

 

lack of avenues in Uttarakhand

Via: scoopwhoop.com

The situation can be made better only with the arrival of better income avenues with a fresh force to ecotourism.

The shift from states like Bihar is temporary and occasional in nature. However, the exit of people from the defined regions of Uttrakhand villages is permanent in nature.

ghost towns of uttarakhand

Via: scoopwhoop.com

The big reason behind this is that while people from Bihar migrate to find labor work in non-rural areas on a temporary basis, those that shift to other places from Uttarakhand hills are often educated who take this step in search of better employment opportunities.

Uttarakhand villages

Via: indiatvnews.com

The natives who still live in these abandoned villages do so because they have no other place to live, there is little money to take such a step or nobody to live with.

They sort of stay away from the pension, money from relatives, or through the money, they make working as laborers in nearby towns.

The number of ghost villages In Uttarakhand is only going to increase in figures without proper steps from the state government.

There are islands that are brimming with vipers, extraterrestrial secrets, sealed mysteries of religion, stainless wildlife and the entire society which have not contacted the external world.

Many of these places are still stuck in infiltration, while behind their closed doors. Other places are better understood, though there are still off-limits due to security, scientific or government regulations.

While the temptation of not allowed and prohibition is evident, you will work hard to make your way through these 15 restricted places - and in many cases, maybe you will not.

In southwestern France, the Lascocus caves are home to a series of amazing paleolithic paintings, which are estimated to be 20,000 years old. Paintings, plaster the walls of the cave, are very vivid, which show stags, cattle, bison, cats and many more.

But the most alluring of all the paintings are found in the Hall of the Bulls, which is known for its four bull sketch, one of which is 17 feet long.

But the sad part is that the caves have been prohibited as they have been encroached by fungi and black moth, both harmful to the health of humans. Also, the presence of humans is considered to be destructive to the works of artistry.

On the North Sentinel Island, a small island in the Andaman chain in the Bay of Bengal, native residents have long been opposing the effects of the modern world.

In fact, the islanders who live on the island deny communication with an outsider and are willing to be violent to protect their isolation.

After the tsunami hit in 2004, when Indian Coast Guard flew an exploration mission to the island, reportedly, men emerged from the forests to shoot an arrow on the helicopter, which was not able to land.

The protectors have live on the island for 60,000 years, and with the security of the Government of India - which prohibits any type of visitors - it has successfully opposed the anthropologists, officers/authorities, and tourists.

There is a holy place in Japan which estimates of up to 80,000 temples in the island nation. But no one is important compared to IS Grand Shrine, which is a complex temple which is the most expensive in the country when it comes to detailing its architecture.

To symbolize the Shinto tradition of death and the renewal of nature, the temple is built every 20 years (on the value tag of one million dollars). The current recurrence was created in 2013. And until and unless you are a member of the Japanese royal family, there is no chance that you will enter the holy hall of this ancient, important representation of Japanese culture.

Poveglia Island is a small island between Venice and Lido in Northern Italy. Over the centuries, small islands are the major real estate for dumping the dead.

The island became an isolation colony for the victims of the Bubonic plague in the 14th century. In the 19th century, Poveglia became a refuge for the area's mentally ill, where there was a rumor that a brutal doctor used to experiment on the patients.

Today the island is abandoned where ghosts once lived. Tourists and locals are banned from visiting this place unless you want to do a lengthy paperwork process. But since it is considered the most haunted place in Italy, it is likely to be the best.

North Brother Island is located on the eastern river between the Bronx and Riker Islands, this banned island was home to the Riverside Hospital in the 19th Century, where patients with tuberculosis, yellow fever, and smallpox diseases were isolated.

Later, after World War II, the hospital was used to make the giants home, and as a treatment facility for drug addicts. In the early 1960s the hospital closed its doors, and since then it has been left to collapse from nature's forces.

Today, the island is closed to the public, because it acts as a nesting colony for black-crowned hawks.

Hawaii is a lovely pastime for island-hopping travelers. But if you think that you have traveled all the islands then think again.

A mysterious island, Nihau, is the nickname "The Forbidden Island" and it is not extreme. Even its visibility is also hidden because it is the only way to catch a glimpse of it as if the sun sets on the Kekaha beach of Kui when its silhouette emerges.

The island was owned by the only family for more than 150 years, and it has been restricted to the outside world. The only people who enjoy the pride of the island are its inhabitants, all of whom are the heir of people living there before buying the island in the 1860s.

But when many palaces and palaces are available for public tours of the palaces, then one room is strictly forbidden: the queen's bedroom, where her Majesty often resides.

Surely, unless your name is Michael Fagan, who was able to break into the Queen bedroom in the 1980s, is one of the biggest safety violations of all time. In this act, he was involved in scaling a 20-foot wall and making himself a gutter - everything he could win the bet with some friends.
