The Himalayan region, including Jammu and Kashmir, is highly susceptible to natural disasters like flash floods, and unscientific development and climate change could lead to an increase in the occurrence of such hazards, a report submitted last year by a panel formed by the Planning Commission had warned.
However, it seems there was no follow-up on the report.
The Centre constituted the committee in 2011 to study development in hill states, including the management of forest lands, with special focus on the creation of infrastructure, livelihood and human development.
