A team of civil engineering experts from IIT Ropar on Sunday visited landslide-prone areas around Punjab's Nangal town to assess the growing threat to habitations in Bhabhor village, Laxmi Narayan Temple and several other structures located along the Nangal Dam Lake. They found poorly designed retaining walls and faulty building designs as primary reasons behind recurring landslides in the region.
