Doda, April 22

Nearly a dozen houses were damaged in Doda district on Monday after a massive landslide.

The incident took place around 60 km from the district headquarters at Tensa village of Kahra-Gandoh at 9 am when a massive landslide hit the area.

No loss of life was reported as the district administration had already evacuated the villagers due to constant threats of landslides a month ago.

Sub-District Magistrate, Gandoh, Pritam Lal Thapa said, “Nearly a dozen houses have been damaged in the huge landslide. We had already shifted people to safer places a month ago to avoid any damage to human lives. They have been provided temporary shelter in a school till further arrangements are made for proper rehabilitation.” — OC
