Landslide caused due to civil construction work in a hilly area is :

A landslide refers to the downward movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth under the direct influence of gravity. While landslides are often natural phenomena triggered by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or earthquakes, they are frequently induced or aggravated by human activities. When a landslide is specifically caused by civil construction work—such as road cutting, blasting, tunneling, or building on unstable slopes—it is classified as a man-made (anthropogenic) disaster. Such activities destabilize the natural equilibrium of the hilly terrain. While the physical process is the same as a natural landslide, the primary trigger in this context is human intervention, distinguishing it from purely natural disasters.
