According to the details, the landslide damaged over two dozen homes in Kalaban, displacing residents and forcing many to relocate to temporary shelters.

“Immediate relief work is continuing, however, the focus has now expanded to understanding the underlying geological causes of the event,” said an official, adding, “The land is still shifting, and further collapse in surrounding areas remains a possibility.”
