Union Minister Nitin Gadkari unveiled a technology-driven landslide mitigation framework for Himalayan roads at a national workshop on resilient hill infrastructure. The strategy moves from conventional engineering to predictive, data-driven solutions, backed by agencies like GSI, DGRE, THDC India Ltd and NIRM. It prioritizes slope stabilization before construction and uses InSAR-based monitoring, LiDAR, drone surveys, and early warning systems. The aim is safer, climate-resilient highways in fragile Himalayan regions, improving connectivity, reducing costs, and strengthening disaster preparedness.
