Landslides Disrupt Major Highways, Trigger Flood Alerts in South Korea, India, Nepal

Heavy rainfall across parts of South Asia has triggered multiple landslides, severely disrupting transportation and causing significant damage. In South Korea, torrential rains caused a major landslide blocking a highway in Dangjin, leading to school closures and property damage, with more rain forecasted. In India, continuous downpours caused a landslide on National Highway-75 in Dakshina Kannada district, halting traffic between Mangaluru and Bengaluru, and another blocked National Highway-37 in Manipur, stranding vehicles and impacting essential commodity transport, along with flooding and power outages in surrounding villages. In Nepal's Mustang district, heavy overnight rain triggered a large rockslide blocking the Kagbeni-Korala section of the Jomsom-Korala road, halting vehicular movement to Upper Mustang and raising flood alerts due to the rising Kali Gandaki River. Authorities in all affected regions have deployed heavy machinery and personnel to clear debris and restore connectivity, but delays are expected due to the scale of the landslides and ongoing adverse weather conditions.
