Under the proposed network, automatic weather stations (AWS) and telemetric rain gauges would be installed in all 95 blocks in the state. In May last year, a team of IMD had visited Uttarakhand and zeroed in on three sites - Surkanda near Mussoorie, Mukteshwar in Nainital district and Pithoragarh - where Doppler radars would be installed.Another factor for the delay was financial crunch. The state government wrote to IMD and the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences in 2015 seeking permission to procure Doppler radars under World Bank funded Uttarakhand Disaster Recovery Project (UDRP).An official of the disaster management department said, “We sought permission from IMD to get Doppler radars under the UDRP as there was delay in IMD procuring them. However, IMD said that it had started the process.”Meanwhile, the state government has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) to set up a dense weather forecasting network in Uttarakhand. Dehradun: Five years after the 2013 flash floods prompted the state government to announce setting up of Doppler radars, the state is still awaiting installation of the system that can make precise weather forecast related to extreme events by gathering real-time data.A year after the 2013 deluge that caused widespread devastation, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and the state government had announced that three radars would be installed to help predict extreme weather events.The radars were to be installed under Integrated Himalayan Meteorology programme of Union Ministry of Earth Sciences.
