Himachal Pradesh to Build Climate‑Resilient Roads Against Heavy Rains

The Himachal Pradesh government has unveiled a plan to construct climate‑resilient roads across the state to counter the increasing frequency of heavy rainfall and landslides. The initiative will focus on using advanced materials, improved drainage systems, and slope stabilization techniques to enhance the durability of highways. By making roads more resilient, the government aims to reduce travel disruptions, improve safety for commuters, and support the local economy during extreme weather events. Officials said the project will be rolled out in phases, prioritizing the most vulnerable corridors first.
