He said there were frequent incidents of landslips and falling rocks hitting moving vehicles owing to fragile and loose strata with vertical cutting of the hills for the expansion of the highway.

Geologists blame unscientific cutting of precipitous hills, largely of shell, sandstone and clay, for the frequent landslips.

Hmmm ... vertical cuts in unstable ground... what could possibly go wrong.

Oh well, the designing Indian engineers can no doubt get in on the American H1B express to employment with American corporations. And bring their families also. After all, what could possibly go wrong.

I'm just guessing, but this probably doesn't affect me in any way. I don't think I'll worry about it.

A map would help immensely with the interpretation of this story.

Who Cares?
It’s India.

Do you think they give a damn about hurricanes and earthquakes in America?
