Drones guard Lumding–Badarpur rail line from landslides
To secure the landslide-prone Lumding–Badarpur hill section, NFR is using drone-based LiDAR, thermal imaging, and geophysical tools like GPR and ERT. The 80-km route links Barak Valley to Tripura, Mizoram, and Manipur. With GIS mapping and tunnel scans, the railway aims to pre-empt disasters, boost safety, and set a new standard for infrastructure resilience in Northeast India.
