Thursday, 19 October 2023
A mountain chunk near Tawaghat in Pithoragarh district broke off, impacting the route connecting Lipulekh and Dharchula. Road widening work and tectonic activities could have caused the rockfall. The incident occurred just after PM Modi's visit to the area. Geologists explained that destabilization of rocks during road widening and rock expansion due to rain and sunshine could be the causes. Ecologists expressed concerns about the impact of increased tourism in the fragile region.
