A landslide in the Malin village of Ambegaon Taluka in Pune on Wednesday that killed at least 30 people is an alarming sign for houses that are located in and near hilly areas.
In the last 25 years, India has witnessed hundreds such incidents killing thousands of people. But we yet fail to learn anything from these past incidents.
Every year in India, especially in the mountain regions like Himalayas, landslides damage and destroy many houses, and cause millions of rupees damage to buildings, roads, railways, pipelines, agricultural land and crops.
According to research done by the Defence Terrain Research Laboratory, “Landslides rank third in terms of number of deaths due to natural disasters.
While, Himalayan Landslides kill one person per 100km. The estimated average losses due to landslides in the Himalayas costs 200 lives and Rs 550 crore every year. Whereas, The hazard affects over 0.49 million km, over 15 % of our country's area.”
After the 1998 Malpa tragedy that killed 200 pilgrims of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, widespread awareness of the problem was created.
The Disaster Management Act, 2005, (December 23, 2005) was passed by the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India, on 28 November, and by the Lok Sabha, the lower house, on 12 December 2005.
It received the assent of the President of India on January 9, 2006.
Even though we have the teams of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the biggest challenge for the government is to ensure that landslide prone areas are evacuated and are not encroached again. Also, it is necessary to ensure that the trees are planted on such plots to avoid encroachment and to prevent soil erosion and, in turn, landslides.
