Landslides due to mining and land subsidence are commonly seen in:

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh
Explanation:
· Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are major coal-mining regions where extensive underground mining causes land subsidence and increases the likelihood of landslides.
· Illegal and unscientific mining further destabilises land structure, making the soil prone to collapse.
· Coalfields such as Jharia, Bokaro and Korba frequently report subsidence incidents.
Information Booster:
· Jharia in Jharkhand is famous for long-standing underground coal fires, contributing to land instability.
· Mining-related landslides often lead to displacement of communities and environmental degradation.
Additional Knowledge:
· Assam and West Bengal (a) experience floods and erosion but not major mining-induced subsidence.
· Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand (b) face natural landslides due to steep slopes, not mining.
· Rajasthan and Haryana (c) are not major mining-subsidence zones.
