Landslide occurred over 200 meters away from tunnel project worksite: Konkan Railway

The Konkan Railway Corporation, which was behind the construction of the Wayanad-Kozhikode tunnel, claimed that the recent landslide occurred around 200 meters away from the excavated area and not where the slope was protected as per the approved design, PTI reported. As the landslide occurred from a height of over 100 meters above the tunnel crown, the elevation difference caused a huge pressure on the downward portions of the protected slope and in a single move, nearby trees were uprooted, and the soil was swept away, Konkan Railway said in a statement. It further said that the soil and muck accumulated at the site was stable, but "the landslide debris flow was so sudden" that the persons present there got trapped in it.
