He highlights that while extensive research has been done on these issues, implementation of suggested solutions remains questionable (0:55-1:08).

He provides an example of uncontrolled trekking in environmentally sensitive areas, like the one in Uttarkashi, where land subsidence and landslides occurred (1:22-1:36). He emphasizes the importance of following designated tracks for conservation, which is often disregarded by trekkers (1:47-2:00).

Major General Singh concludes by stressing the need for strict control over the number of people allowed on sensitive routes to prevent over-tourism and environmental damage (3:26-3:36).
