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
