On 13 August 2017, a massive landslide occurred close to the village of Kotropi (near Kotropi bus stop) in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, India. It occurred on National Highway 154, the road between Mandi and Pathankot. Media reports suggest that a section of the slope totally collapsed and two buses of the Himachal State Transport Corporation along with few other vehicles were buried under the debris. News reports also suggest that there have been 46 fatalities from the incident. Around 300 m of the highway has been completely buried under debris, thus disrupting communication on an important route1.

Abstract


On 13 August 2017, a massive landslide occurred close to the village of Kotropi (near Kotropi bus stop) in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, India. It occurred on National Highway 154, the road between Mandi and Pathankot. Media reports suggest that a section of the slope totally collapsed and two buses of the Himachal State Transport Corporation along with few other vehicles were buried under the debris. News reports also suggest that there have been 46 fatalities from the incident. Around 300 m of the highway has been completely buried under debris, thus disrupting communication on an important route1.
