Never-ending Rainfall Increases Mountain Unsteadiness.

Since Monday, continuous heavy rains have been detected by experts, which has caused the mountain slopes in Himachal Pradesh to become very weak and this has provided a good environment to cause a landslide. The soil erosion and slope collapse is further enhanced by the fragile terrain in the region which is further aggravated by the deforestation and unplanned constructions.

Local weather authorities have cautioned that more rains in the next few days may aggravate the situation and may cause more landslides in the hilly districts in the region.

Leaders of the countries are extremely heartfelt in their condolences.

After the tragic incident, President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave emotional condolences to the families of the victims. In his message, Prime Minister Modi termed the incident as being very distressing and reported that the central government would offer the much-needed aids and compensation.

President Murmu also expressed his sympathy and commended the current rescue operation by the local government and recognized the unprecedented difficulties investigators had to go through in terms of the bad weather conditions.
