According to a report by the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the Rudraprayag district in Uttarakhand, which is home to the revered Kedarnath shrine, has the highest vulnerability to landslides in India. The district, located in the northern part of the country, is at a significant risk of landslides due to its topography and geological conditions. The report, titled 'Landslide Atlas', highlights the need for the district authorities to take measures to mitigate the risk of landslides and safeguard the lives of the people living in the area.
