According to Heim, Arnold, and august Gansser's book "Central Himalaya," the town of joshimath in the Chamoli district is built on landslide debris. Back in 1971, a few homes had previously reported fractures, prompting a report that recommended a few actions, such as protecting the current trees and planting new ones, not touching the pebbles on which the town is built, and refraining from placing reinforced cement concrete (RCC).According to Heim, Arnold, and august Gansser's book "Central Himalaya," the town of joshimath in the Chamoli district is built on landslide debris.

Additionally, infrastructure has grown unregulated and has amplified. The town does not, however, have an adequate drainage system. Water percolation has over time reduced the cohesive strength of the rocks in addition to the progressive weathering of fine material between the rocks of debris.Sundriyal claims that this led to landslides, which caused cracks in the homes. Second, blasting is used to build these tunnels for hydropower projects, which causes nearby earthquake shocks and shakes debris above the rocks, producing fractures once more.
