Massive Landslide Shocks Drivers on Chamba-Tissa Road
A shocking landslide was caught on camera in Himachal Pradesh, India, as a massive section of a mountain collapsed onto the Chamba-Tissa road, sending giant boulders crashing down onto passing vehicles. The terrifying moment left both drivers and bystanders in shock as nature unleashed its power without warning.
What Happened?
The video, which has since gone viral, shows a quiet stretch of the Chamba-Tissa road suddenly turning into a disaster zone. Huge chunks of rock detached from the mountainside, tumbling down at high speed, smashing into the road and damaging vehicles in their path. Fortunately, there were no reported fatalities, but the incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving through landslide-prone areas.
Why Do Landslides Happen in Himachal Pradesh?
Himachal Pradesh is known for its beautiful mountain landscapes, but the region is highly vulnerable to landslides, especially during the monsoon season. The key reasons include:
- Heavy Rainfall: Monsoon rains weaken the soil, making mountains unstable.
- Deforestation: Cutting down trees removes natural protection against erosion.
- Road Construction: Blasting and digging for infrastructure can weaken slopes.
- Seismic Activity: Earthquakes and tremors can trigger sudden rockfalls.
How Dangerous Are Landslides?
Landslides can be deadly, especially when they occur on busy roads or near populated areas. In 2023, landslides in India caused hundreds of deaths and major infrastructure damage, blocking highways and cutting off remote villages.
What Should You Do If You Encounter a Landslide?
If you’re driving in a mountainous area and notice falling rocks or cracks in the road, here’s what to do:
- Stay Alert – Watch for warning signs like small rockfalls or unusual sounds.
- Move Away Quickly – If you see debris falling, don’t stop under slopes or cliffs.
- Follow Official Warnings – Authorities often issue landslide alerts after heavy rain.
- Drive with Caution – Slow down and keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
