330 people died due to landslides in Himachal, landslides occurred 113 times in the last 55 days

Increasing construction in the mountains and shrinking forest cover are reducing the age of the Himalayas. Its mountains are slipping. Himachal is an example of this. There has been a 6-fold increase in landslide incidents here in two years. 113 landslides have occurred in 55 days of this monsoon. 330 people have died in rain and landslide related incidents.

Geologist Prof. According to Varinder Singh Dhar, the mountains of Himachal are being cut directly for wide roads. Because of this, the rocks at the bottom of the mountains are also being cut, due to which the water drainage system has ended. Due to this, there is a risk of landslides in the sloping areas of Himachal Pradesh. Landslides due to explosions in tunnels and hydro projects are also on the rise.

On the other hand, the threat of drought is looming in 14 districts of Uttar Pradesh. These include 7 districts of Bundelkhand, 6 districts of Eastern UP and one district of Terai. Half of the state’s 75 districts have received less than normal rainfall.

17,120 landslide prone areas in Himachal Pradesh
The probability of landslides in Himachal has increased to 17,120. There are human settlements on the banks of 675 of them. Many government buildings in Shimla are at risk of landslides.

68 tunnels are being constructed in Himachal. Of these, 11 have been completed, 27 are under construction and 30 detailed project reports are being prepared. Many of these projects are of the Centre. This will increase the landslide prone areas in the state.
