Addressed the Workshop on 'Landslide Mitigation Measures for Resilient Hill Roads' at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, along with Union MoS Shri @AjayTamtaBJP Ji, Shri @hdmalhotra Ji and senior officials today.
Developing climate-resilient road infrastructure in the geologically fragile Himalayan region remains a significant challenge due to complex terrain, unstable slopes and frequent natural disasters such as landslides, cloudbursts and earthquakes. Sustained efforts are being undertaken to address these concerns through adoption of global best practices and advanced technologies.
▪️Key initiatives include signing of MoUs with THDCIL for specialized landslide treatment in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh, DGRE for geo-hazard mitigation, and GSI for geological investigations and data sharing for tunnel and corridor projects. Collaboration with NIRM focuses on geotechnical investigation scrutiny, design validation, tunnel safety audits, instrumentation monitoring and capacity building.
▪️A policy decision has been taken to prioritize slope cutting and stabilization prior to commencement of road works in hilly terrain, ensuring long-term safety and durability. Additionally, IIT Roorkee is being supported for development of guidelines on hillslope instability using real-time monitoring systems. Further, an MoU has been signed for deployment of InSAR-based landslide monitoring and early warning systems along a 100-km stretch of the Chardham route.
▪️Undertaking extensive topographical surveys using advanced technologies such as LiDAR and UAVs, incorporating landslide susceptibility mapping and historical data into DPR preparation, and adhering to best construction practices, we remain firmly committed to developing safe, hassle-free and sustainable highways across hilly regions.
