While cloudbursts and flash floods in recent years have become a regular feature in the hill state of Himachal Pradesh, the loss of life caused by natural calamities can be mainly attributed to the increasing human interference, particularly in eco-sensitive Himalayan zones.
Experts said since mountains in Himachal Pradesh are part of Himalayan range that are young and fragile in nature, creating cracks and fractures in the rock could widen in future and create a rockfall or slope failure zone a phenomenon in which a slope collapses abruptly under the influence of rainfall or an earthquake.
They say anthropological intervention along with climate change have worsened it further. Be it development of hydropower projects or tunnels or roads.
