# NFR deploys geobags to curb landslides on Lumding-Badarpur track 2026-08-13T06:01:08+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet According to an Assam Tribune report, the Northeast Frontier Railway has brought 1,000 geobags to stabilise soil erosion on the Lumding-Badarpur hill section. The bags, filled with soil or sand, will be placed in vulnerable areas to check landslides that have repeatedly washed away earth under tracks and dumped debris. Train services near New Harangajao are limited to one line; repairs are hampered by continuing rain. Residents say the stretch needs permanent drainage and slope protection, not just temporary fixes. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com Tags: geobags, infrastructure, landslides, Lumding-Badarpur, Monsoon, Northeast Frontier Railway Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/nfr-deploys-geobags-to-curb-landslides-on-lumding-badarpur-track/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
