Volume : I, Issue : IX, October - 2011 Study on Landslide Incidents of Paglajhora and Adjacent Areas –An Overview; Kurseong Block, Darjeeling, India Tamal Basu Roy AND Snehasish Saha DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Building up and maintenance of the roadway linkages in the Himalayan and sub
Himalayan regions have been a major problem for the engineers and Planners.
During the incessant rains of monsoon period, these roadways get blocked due to
landslides sometimes for uncounted days affecting the natural mobility of hill
lifeline. Due to limited number of roadways in the region and absence of alternate
route, people as well as essential commodities get stranded on the road during such
natural calamities (Sengupta.A, Gupta.S & Anbarasu, and K). The Himalayan
regions are susceptible to extremely steep and corrugated slope dispositions with
frequent instability over the unsaturated and solifluctional plasticized mass of
rocks. Most of the studies conducted on the Himalayan regions include the
demarcation of sensitive landslide susceptibility areas. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Tamal Basu Roy AND Snehasish Saha, (2011).
