Why did a portion of NH-313 cave in due to a landslide in Arunachal

Portion of NH-313 caves in due to landslide in Arunachal
  • Heavy rainfall in the region likely saturated the soil along NH-313, making it prone to landslides
  • The topography of the area, being hilly and mountainous, increases the risk of landslides
  • Poor drainage infrastructure along the road may have contributed to water accumulation, further weakening the soil
  • Deforestation and improper land use practices in the region can destabilize the soil and increase the likelihood of landslides
  • Lack of regular maintenance and monitoring of the road infrastructure may have overlooked warning signs of potential landslides
