Description
-
The report on landslide risk assessment in South Asia highlights significant factors contributing to landslides in the Nilgiris region, primarily linked to development activities such as resort construction on unstable land. Poor infrastructure and inadequate drainage also exacerbate the issue, especially during monsoons. Local populations, particularly landless Tamils and tribal groups, face varying vulnerability levels, with the latter generally being less affected. Coordination among multiple institutions involved in landslide management is poor, complicating disaster response efforts. An early warning system, operated by a local NGO, exists but lacks effective dissemination and validation. Overall, increased urban development threatens land stability and enhances landslide risks.
