This has caused the ground to become saturated and unstable, making it more likely for landslides to occur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deforestation:&lt;/strong&gt; The state has lost a significant amount of forest cover in recent years, which has left the slopes more exposed to erosion and landslides.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;youtube-embed-wrapper&quot; style=&quot;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;padding-top:30px;height:0;overflow:hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/kEWg2bUrqjA&quot; style=&quot;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Geological factors:&lt;/strong&gt; Himachal Pradesh is located in a mountainous region with steep slopes and unstable soil. This makes it more prone to landslides than other parts of India.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Human activity: &lt;/strong&gt;Human activity, such as construction and road building, can also contribute to landslides. When slopes are disturbed, it can destabilize the ground and make it more likely for landslides to occur.&lt;/p&gt;

Himachal Pradesh has witnessed heavy rainfall and landslides that have led to the death of 74 people and substantial economic losses in last one week. The rain disaster has left a trail of destruction, causing an estimated loss of Rs 10,000 crore.
