INFO CARD | Alarming rise in landslides now a pan-India peril

The Hindu  

Published : Jan 26, 2023 15:01 IST The recent events in Joshimath have revived the debate around development in ecologically fragile areas. While there has certainly been a rise in outlier climate events, especially intense rainfall as seen in Maharashtra and Kerala in recent years, their effect on populations has been outsized mainly because of human folly in the form of deforestation, massive growth in traffic, unsustainable rise in permanent settlements, and a significant rise in buildings, both unauthorised and otherwise. The past two decades have seen several occurrences outside the Himalayan belt that made headlines for their severity and deadly aftermath. Besides these, minor landslides and slips have been occurring on a routine basis and with increasing frequency in States ranging from Sikkim in the north-eastern region, to parts of West Bengal in the east, and to Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the south, where the Western Ghats are located.
