It is always advisable to adopt area- specific measures to deal with landslides,
- Restriction on the construction and other developmental activities such as roads and dams, limiting agriculture to valleys and areas with moderate slopes, and control on the development of large settlements in the high vulnerability zones, should be enforced.
- Some positive actions like promoting large-scale afforestation programmes and construction of bunds to reduce the flow of water should be taken.
- Terrace farming should be encouraged in the north-eastern hill states.
