Saha commended the NLFC team for expanding its landslide early warning coverage — from 16 districts across six states at its inception to 21 districts across eight states in 2025.

He also highlighted NLFC’s pioneering efforts in integrating global best practices into forecasting systems and the successful upgrades of the NLFC dashboard, Bhusanket portal, and Bhooskhalan App, enhancing real-time monitoring and public access to critical landslide forecasts. (PTI)
