A man works at a makeshift street shop in front of a placard, directed at the government's largest power producer, NTPC, which reads "NTPC Go Back", which had been put up by the local residents, in Joshimath, in the northern state of Uttarakhand, India, January 14, 2023. In January, cracks developed in more than 800 homes in Joshimath, 100 km from the border with China. Some houses crumbled completely, forcing hundreds of occupants to evacuate. Officials halted road construction work near the town, fearful of a bigger collapse. REUTERS/Anushree Fadnavis SEARCH "FADNAVIS HIMALAYAS" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.
