Only a fourth of the homes in Uttarakhand's "sinking town" Joshimath have cracks, Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami said today. He also said Rs 1.5 lakh would be given to families as compensation by this evening. After Joshimath, the state government is checking other towns for similar problems. "We are studying other cities in the area and how much weight they can take. Accordingly, we will take steps," Mr Dhami said.
