Two Natural Disaster occurred in India

1) 2005 Mumbai Catastrophes

The 2005 Maharashtra floods refers to the flooding of many parts of
the Indian state of Maharashtra including large areas of the
metropolis Mumbai, a city located on the coast of the Arabian Sea, on
the Western coast of India, in which approximately 1,094 people died. It
occurred just one month after the June 2005 Gujarat floods. The term 26
July, is now always used to refer to the day when the city of Mumbai
came to a standstill due to flooding.Many people were stranded on the
roads, lost their homes while many walked long distances back home
from work that evening. The floods were caused by the eighth heaviest-
ever recorded 24-hour rainfall figure of 944 mm (37.17 inches) which
lashed the metropolis on 26 July 2005, and intermittently continued for
the next day. 644mm (25.35 inches) was received within the 12-hour
period between 8 am and 8 pm.

Government Recovery Plan

Storm Water Drainage ◦ Upgrade the storm water drainage
system to mitigate the effects of events like July 26th 2005,
when almost 35% of annual rainfall occurred on a single day ◦
Widening and deepening of existing water channels and
causeways ◦ Providing smooth transition for waterways near
bridges ◦ Moderating the river course by replacing existing sharp
bends with longer gentler bends

2) The Malpa Landslide

The Malpa landslide was one of the worst landslides in India. On 18 August
1998 at 3.00 a.m., massive landslides wiped away the entire village of Malpa
in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, then in Uttar Pradesh in Kali Valley
of Higher Kumaon division of the Himalayas. The rock fall started on 16
August bringing down huge rocks which initially killed three mules. A total of
221 people died, including 60 Hindu pilgrims traveling to Tibet as part of
"Kailash Manas Sarovar Yatra". One noted death was that of the Indian
dancer Protima Bedi. The rock fall continued till 21 August. As the area lies in
a seismic zone, the earthquakes of 1979 and 1980 may have been the
underlying cause, as was attributed by a report of the Wadia Institute of
Himalayan Geology.
