'More than 1 landslide/km between Rishikesh & Joshimath'

As many as 309 "fully or partially road-blocking landslides" have been identified along the 247-km road stretch between Rishikesh and Joshimath, which translates into an average of 1.25 landslides per km, according to a study undertaken by a group of Indian and foreign scientists, which was introduced for discussion at the European Geosciences Union on January 10.
