After ISRO reveals Joshimath sinkage, NDMA asks govt bodies not to share details publicly

January 14, 2023

Amid the Joshimath sinkage, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has ordered all concerned departments — such as Wadia Institute, IIT Roorkee, CBRI, GIS Kolkata, NIDM New Delhi, IIRS Dehradun, NGRI Hyderabad, and ISRO — to not interact with the media or share any data on social media till an “integrated” final report is submitted by the expert group on the subject. The development comes after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) report showed that Joshimath sank over 5 cm in 12 days between 27 December and 8 January.
