The massive loss of human life and damage to property this year due to the flash floods in Uttarakhand owe to the unfortunate coincidence that the early monsoon burst came during the peak pilgrimage season, flooding the river valley along a key pilgrim route.Blaming dams, deforestation and climate change for this particular tragedy partially diverts attention from the unfettered pilgrim traffic and unregulated infrastructure along the pilgrim routes. These became the unfortunate victims of the natural processes that hit Uttarakhand almost every year.
