Himachal Pradesh, situated in the Himalayan region, has been grappling with the persistent threat of landslides. Shimla is the state capital of the state and has been particularly susceptible to such geological hazards. It has challenging terrain, and steep slopes, and often witnessed heavy rainfall during the monsoon season that leads to landslides at various places. 

In August, last year, Shimla experienced a devastating incident in Krishnanagar, where a landslide claimed the lives of 2 individuals, and eight houses collapsed. The incident came as a reality check about the vulnerability of the region to such natural disasters. It also emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to eliminate the impact of landslides in Shimla and other landslide-prone areas of Himachal Pradesh.
