Abstract

This study paper examines the Sikkim Himalaya's susceptibility to landslides and the part that landslides play in the region's occurrence. The local government, the community, and environmental authorities, among other stakeholders, might gain a lot from studies on the Sikkim landslip vulnerability assessment. The results of this study can be used to identify the regions in Sikkim that are most prone to landslides. By being aware of the risks, the community and local government can take precautions to lessen the devastation caused by landslides. To comprehend the origins and effects of the landslip, the study required the collection and analysis of numerous data sets. According to the investigation, a combination of elements, including steep slopes, unstable geological formations, and heavy rainfall, contributed to the landslip. Numerous people perished as a result of the incident, which also damaged bridges, roads, and other infrastructure. The report suggests taking a number of actions to lessen the likelihood of such occurrences, including building early warning systems, enhancing drainage systems, and avoiding construction in landslide-prone locations. The results of this study offer insightful information that will help policymakers and other stakeholders create successful plans for reducing the danger of landslides in Sikkim
