      Muskan,
      Good attempt.
      In the first part of the question, Western Ghat is also very prone to landslide. Show that area as well on the map.
      In the definition of landslide, do mention the word “gravity”. It is key term and has technical importance. Sliding of debris across mountain slope due to Gravity is landslide.
      Other parts you have answered very well.
      Demand of the question is properly met.
      You have used the right way to draw map with caption and map is enclosed in the box.
      You can mention the recent landslide of Himachal Pradesh for better context in the introduction part.
      Good that you have mentioned about NDMA guidelines.
      Overall good answer.
      Keep writing.
