Continuous heavy rainfall in the high-range regions surrounding Kumily has raised serious concerns over the possibility of landslides in forest and hill areas. Forest officials and disaster management authorities have identified several vulnerable locations where loose soil and steep slopes increase the risk of slope failures.
In some areas, minor soil erosion and falling rocks have already been reported along forest roads and plantation routes, causing temporary disruptions to traffic movement. Authorities have deployed monitoring teams to assess ground conditions and take preventive measures.
Residents living near hill slopes, forest fringes, and water channels have been advised to remain alert and avoid unnecessary travel, especially during night hours and periods of intense rainfall. Tourists have also been cautioned against trekking or entering forest paths until weather conditions improve.
The Forest Department and local administration are coordinating with disaster response teams to ensure quick action in case of emergencies. Machinery and personnel have been kept on standby to clear debris if landslides occur.
Officials emphasized the importance of following weather alerts and safety advisories, stating that early precautions can help prevent loss of life and property. Continuous monitoring will remain in place as rainfall persists in the region.
