File No. /Acc. No. 21
Abstract This is the entrance to the Tehri Dam�s right-bank diversion tunnel. The mountain-slopes on either side are devoid of vegetation and therefore weak, prone to landslips and unstable. Their ability to withstand a powerful earthquake in this seismic zone is extremely doubtful, a view confirmed by top seismologists.
