Seeds to stabilise soil in landslide-hit U’khand
The New Indian Express Kottayam
|November 26, 2025
FACING frequent landslides in one of India’s top 10 most vulnerable districts, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is turning to an advanced biological solution —hydroseeding — to stabilise a critical stretch of the Badrinath Highway near Kameda in Gauchar. The move comes after previous engineering efforts failed to contain the erosion threatening the vital route.
The 120-metre stretch near Kameda, which falls under the highly landslide-prone Rudraprayag district, experiences major debris flow during the monsoon season. For over five years, the slope above the highway has continuously shed soil, rocks, and boulders, frequently disrupting traffic for hours.
