<h1>State duty to provide emergency relief, compensation and resettlement after large-scale land subsidence displacing over 3,000 residents</h1> Multiple villages in mountainous districts are experiencing severe land subsidence, displacing over 3,000 residents and damaging houses, schools, infrastructure and farmland; authorities have ordered evacuations, temporary relief and proposed permanent resettlement while geological and mining experts are being consulted. Legal issues include potential state liability for failure of land-use planning, infrastructure and drainage in ecologically sensitive zones, duty to provide adequate emergency relief and relocation, and entitlements to compensation under disaster- relief, rehabilitation and land acquisition laws. Evidence preservation, expedited expert geotechnical assessment, interim shelter, livelihood support, and clear processes for compensation, permanent resettlement and accountability are immediate legal priorities.
