Summary/Abstract |
The Himalayan range is the youngest with highly active mountains on the earth. These mountains have assumed a greater importance by regulating the weather of northern Indian subcontinent since times immemorial (Kumar et al., 2010). However, the inherent geological and anthropogenic influences has increased its susceptibility of these ranges to the hazards of landslides, failure of natural dams, glacial lakes outburst, flash flood, debris flows and cloud bursts (Kumar et al., 2010).
