Earthquake tremors were once again felt in India on Saturday night in Nepal. The impact of the earthquake was seen in entire North India including Delhi-NCR. Earlier, earthquake tremors were also felt in the night of Tuesday-Wednesday. There has been a big disclosure in the research of IIT Kanpur regarding earthquake tremors. According to this, a catastrophic earthquake can occur anytime in the Himalayan states of India. This earthquake may be similar to the earthquakes in 1505 and 1803.
Let us know what has been known in the research of IIT? Which are the two states where the epicenter of the earthquake could be? What is the reason for the earthquake in Nepal? Let’s know…
First know what is the reason for the earthquake in Nepal? To understand this, we asked Senior Professor of IIT Kanpur Civil Engineering Department and expert in Geoscience Engineering, Prof. Spoke to Javed N Malik. He said, ‘In 2015 also, there were tremors of 7.8 to 8.1 magnitude earthquake in Nepal. Then more than eight thousand people had died, while more than 20 thousand people were injured. At that time the epicenter of the earthquake was East Nepal. This is the reason why it did not affect India. However, the tectonic plate in the Himalayan range has become unstable. Due to this, such earthquakes will continue to occur for a long time. This is also a big reason for the earthquake this time.
What came out in the research of IIT-K? Pro. Javed Malik said that he and his team have been studying earthquakes for a long time. In this, a kind of worrying situation is being created for India. If people are thinking that big earthquakes like Nepal will not occur in India then they are wrong.
Pro. According to Malik, ‘This time the epicenter of the earthquake in Nepal is western Nepal, which is very adjacent to India. This is the reason that this time the effect of Nepal’s earthquake was seen till Delhi-NCR. Pro. Malik told in three points what things have come out in his study.
1. Major earthquake in Himalayan range of India: A major earthquake may occur in the Himalayan range i.e. Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. Its intensity can remain between 7.8 to 8.5. This is a big danger. We cannot turn away from this.
2. India has entered the time of earthquakes: Now the question arises that for how long such an earthquake can happen in India? Responding to this, Prof. Malik said, “We (India) have already entered the earthquake cycle zone. Meaning we have entered the timeline when tremors of horrific earthquake can occur in Uttarakhand and Himachal at any time. The Himalayas are also pointing in this direction. The Himalayas are sitting completely still. This is the calm before the storm.
3. The impact of the Uttarakhand-Himalaya earthquake will be visible in the whole of North India: Pro. Malik says, whenever earthquake tremors occur in Uttarakhand or Himachal, then its effect will be seen in the whole of North India. Then why not have a flat place. There will also be a serious impact. In Uttarakhand, especially Garhwal and Kumaon areas are more red zone. These areas can be the centers of earthquakes.
Terrible earthquake has hit Uttarakhand twice Pro. Malik also told about the tremors of the old earthquake. He said, in 1505 and 1803, there have been intense earthquakes in Uttarakhand. The earthquake of 1505 is also mentioned in Akbarnama and Baburnama. There was a lot of damage during that time. Similarly in 1803 there was a strong earthquake. The effect of which was seen till Delhi NCR, Mathura. During that too a lot of damage had to be done.
