Singh* Abstract Landslides in Himalayas are common calamities occurring under varied natural and natural phenomenon often triggered conditions prevailing there. This by human activities. The studies of phenomenon is more pronounced in areas landslides get more focused in the areas of high relief in the Himalayas, which where civil engineering projects are to be constitutes a very fragile and delicate taken up or being taken up. Nathpa area is ecosystem. The magnitude of damage very prone to landslides in relation of other caused every year by these sudden and areas in Himalayas due to its rigorous undesired earth movements in the topographic, structural and tectonic Himalayan terrain is enormously high. This framework. Since Nathpa-Jhakri has resulted in adversely affecting the hydroproject is one of the pioneer projects socio-economic conditions and in India, hence the work on landslide environment of the region (Bartarya and hazard zonation. The study indicates that Valdiya, 1989; Haigh etal., 1989; inLakhera half of the area lies under low landslide and Champatiray, 1996). hazard zone; however, nearly 20% of the area is covered by high to very high hazard The study area is located in the risks. The remaining 30% of the area falls Western part of Kinnaur district of Himachal under moderate hazard zone. The area Pradesh, lying between latitude 31°30' to occupied by moderate to high hazard zones 31°36'N and longitude 77°56' to 78°E.

    [Malpani * et al., 4(10): October, 2017] ISSN: 2349-5197 Impact Factor: 2.715 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH SCIENCE & MANAGEMENT ACCIDENTS DUE TO DRUNKEN DRIVING IN TRIBAL CULTURE AND PREDICTIVE DEPLOYMENT OF POLICE Rohit Malpani IPS*1 & Anubhav Sinha2 *1Superintendent of Police, District Kinnaur at Reckong Peo (H.P.) 2Junior Undergraduate, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1019367 Keywords: Drunken Driving, RADMS, Google Maps, Traffic Black Spots and Mountainous Terrain. Abstract India is a signatory to Brasilia Declaration and is committed to reduce the number of road accidents and fatalities by 50 per cent by 2020. The task of reducing fatalities in accidents in tougher in mountainous terrain compared to the plains due to risky terrain, structural faults in road engineering, difficult annual maintenance, traffic congestion on hilly roads, ignorance of hilly people and drinking habits i.e. drunken driving habits among the tribals. This paper deals with specific issues related to high fatality rate in accidents in extreme hilly district of Kinnaur (Himachal Pradesh) and possible solutions using technology i.e. Google Maps which can be replicated in other hilly districts of India too. Introduction KINNAUR surrounded by the Tibet to the east, in the northeast corner of Himachal Pradesh, about 235 kms from Shimla encloses valleys of Sutlej, Spiti, Baspa and their tributaries. The old Hindustan-Tibet road passes through the Kinnaur valley along the bank of river Sutlej and enters Tibet at Shipki La Pass (Indo – China Border). At many places link roads are carved out of shear precipice and the valley is hundreds of feet steep vertical drop down.
