Nashik Collector Directs Preventive Measures In Landslide-Prone Areas Amid Heavy Rains
· Free Press Journal
Nashik: With continuous rainfall across the district, the possibility of landslides cannot be ruled out. Nashik Collector Ayush Prasad has directed all concerned departments to identify vulnerable locations and implement preventive measures without delay.
Collector Prasad said that prolonged rainfall can weaken the soil layer on hill slopes, increasing the risk of landslides. He noted that unusual sounds of water flowing beneath the soil or rocks could indicate an impending landslide. The District Disaster Management Authority has already prepared a list of landslide-prone locations, and officials have been instructed to inspect such areas within their jurisdictions. If necessary, residents from vulnerable locations should be shifted to safer places as a precaution.
