Global warming has knocked at the snowy valleys of Uttarakhand. The snow-clad mountains here used to be the center of attraction for tourists and players in winters. Now dry slopes are seen there. The effect of increasing global warming in Uttarakhand is now visible in the National Games as well. Is there going to be any hindrance in these 38th National Games being held in Uttarakhand, let’s find out.

Glaciers are decreasing rapidly due to increasing temperature

With time, serious side effects of climate change are being seen in the Himalayas. Glaciers are decreasing rapidly due to increasing temperature in the Himalayan area. Recently, in a 30-year study by Professor Vishwambhar Prasad Sati and Surjit Banerjee of Mizoram University, Aizawl, it came to light that the thick snow sheet in the Himalayan areas is continuously decreasing.

National Winter Games 2025 postponed

From 1991 to 2021, the area of ​​thick snow during the Ice Period on the peak has decreased from 10768 sq Km to 3258.6 sq Km, which shows a dangerous decrease. On the contrary, the thin ice sheet has increased from 3798 sq Km in 1991 to 6863.56 sq km in 2021, due to which the heat of this area is increasing. Auli and its surrounding areas, which were earlier covered with snow throughout the year, have now lost snow. Due to lack of sufficient snow in Auli, the National Games being organized in Uttarakhand are getting affected.

The dates of the event extended

Actually, Uttarakhand has recently been given the responsibility of organizing the 38th National Games, which also includes winter games. But now the organization of the Winter Games to be held in Auli has got into trouble. Recently, officials of the Tourism Department and Winter Games Association visited Auli. In which they found out that the condition of snow on the slopes here is so bad that the dates of the previously scheduled event had to be extended.

What are the new dates of the Games?
