Recent events
In February 2023, Dalwah village was affected by a subsidence incident in the nearby Duksar village. A major chunk of land collapsed, damaging about two dozen houses, including a stretch of the Gool road. This incident left dozens of people homeless and blocked the Sangaldan-Gool road. It occurred shortly after the 2023 Thathri land subsidence in the region.
Experts have suggested that the land sinking observed in Dalwah village of Ramban may be attributed to factors such as water seepage, extensive cutting of steep slopes, and other reasons.
