The landslides have caused fatalities, injuries, and significant disruptions to transportation and tourism in the affected regions. A bus driver was killed, and a conductor sustained severe injuries in the Nilgiris. Tourists were stranded, and night travel bans were temporarily imposed. The presence of unstable boulders on slopes poses ongoing risks of further landslides. Environmental degradation, including illegal construction and deforestation, has weakened the resilience of the Western Ghats, increasing the likelihood of such disasters during heavy rainfall events.
