Thousands of people perished and lakhs lost their livelihood. Three years after the disaster, stories from the valley - of pain and sorrow, the state government's indifference and the corporate goof-ups, the courage and heroism shown by the locals in the face of an absolute catastrophe - have remained largely unheard of till now. While the government continues to remain in denial and chooses to ignore the confrontational issues in Uttarakhand, the ravaged Kedarnath valley still haunts us - though the temple has been restored, given its religious importance and centtrality in the local economy."--Back cover.
