129 landslide-prone zones identified in Gajapati dist

Nestled between the ancient Mahendragiri hills in the east and Devagiri hill range in the north, Gajapati district has 129 landslide-prone zones.

Home to many tribal communities, the district has long been vulnerable to landslides as these hill ranges are very old and have become fragile.

Heavy rainfall often leads to soil erosion and rockslides in the region due to the fragile nature of the hills.

The district had a firsthand experience of the deadly impact of landslides following the devastation caused by cyclonic storm Titli in 2018.
