EARTHQUAKE!!

Kolkata, India
April 14, 2016 3:54am CST
India was rocked again by another earthquake last night, in the Myanmar-India border. This was probably the 6th or 7th one in the last 10 months. A high number for a country like India which usually rests on alluvial soil, unusal to say the least and scary too. The high rate and magnitude of these quakes has rendered the experts to thnk of something disastrous to be coming our way like the one in Nepal that happend mid-way last year. A major earthquake in India will most probably take a huge number of lives due to the claustrophobic nature of the country and the high population. Hopefully the apocalypse ain't near.

It remains to be seen how the high rises are able to withstand earthquakes and whether any provisions have been made for severe earthquakes. If not we are in for big trouble - siva

Yes and how the disaster management teams are preapared for these disasters as well... I'm not sure though that they are very well trained.

@Shiva49 disaster management in India is disastrous, except for the army.

I hate to spoil your hope but the apocalypse is already happening and the worst is yet to come but then there will be a new beginning and things will be wonderful.

Not surprising since the northern border of India is where two tectonic plates collide. Stay safe.
