Joshimath: Five more homes in Joshimath, Uttarakhand, have tiny fractures, adding to the widening and growing number of cracks in residential structures already impacted by land subsidence in the city, which has put residents in a state of panic.

Himanshu Khurana, the Chamoli District Magistrate, arrived and inspected the homes on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Khurana claimed that in homes with crackometers installed, the size of previous cracks had grown.

Cracks had also developed in the fields in the Manohar Bagh ward in January. Suraj Kaparwan, the owner of one of the affected fields, said that the administration had filled the cracks with soil and plastic.

The development of new cracks in the holy city stopped after January 20 but has started again, adding to the worries of the locals and the administration.

Along with this, cracks in the houses of Manohar Bagh and Singhdhar ward have widened.

Locals have also been worried about the sudden drying up of a natural stream that had been flowing for the past several years in Joshimath's Singhdhar ward.
