A sinking feeling across Uttarakhand

IndiaTimes Sunday, 20 August 2023
The Geological Survey of India says 72% of Uttarakhand – nearly 39,000 sq.km area – is landslideprone. Isro’s ‘Landslide Atlas of India’ also says Uttarakhand had the second highest number of landslides – 11,219 to Mizoram’s 12,385 – between 1988 and 2022. When it comes to districts, Rudraprayag and Tehri in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal region are the most landslide-prone in India. Tehri alone has 96 of the 333 landslideprone ‘danger zones’ identified in the state.
