The Issue
As someone who has been paragliding for more than 12 years, Kamshet is not just a flying site for me; it's an emotion, a sanctuary, and a second home. This beautiful region in India is cherished by countless pilots, students, tourists, and adventure lovers from every corner of the globe. However, the serenity and safety we have long enjoyed are now under threat.
The proposed development of a power line near the base of Tower Hill, one of our most critical flying areas in Kamshet, poses a significant risk to all who cherish the skies here. Paragliding is a sport that requires open, hazard-free airspace, and the presence of power lines could have dire consequences for safety. Navigating around these obstacles increases the risk of accidents, not only endangering lives but also casting a shadow over the international reputation Kamshet has cultivated as a top paragliding destination.
But the impact goes beyond safety. This power line could have adverse effects on the environment, potentially disturbing local wildlife and pristine landscapes that have drawn nature enthusiasts and photographers for years. The ecological balance of this area is delicate, and introducing such disruptions could lead to unforeseen consequences on local flora and fauna.
Tourism, a vital source of income for local communities in Kamshet, also stands to suffer. The charm of paragliding in an unspoiled region is a major draw for visitors. An intervention like this power line could deter potential tourists, significantly impacting businesses that rely on these visitors for their livelihood.
We urge the local authorities and power companies to consider alternative routes or solutions that would not jeopardize the future of paragliding in Kamshet. We believe there are safer and more sustainable options that can meet the region’s power needs without compromising on our safety, environment, and economic prosperity.
Please join us in our fight to protect Kamshet's skies from unsafe power line development. Sign this petition to ensure our voices are heard and help save a beloved paragliding hub from irreversible damage.
