Ministry of Home Affairs: 8.2-Magnitude Earthquake May Strike Himalayan Region, Officials Say
Important : Massive 8.2 magnitude earthquake could hit North India soon
MHA experts have warned that earthquakes with a magnitude of 8.0 or more on the Richter scale are likely to hit the Himalayan region.
According to experts the tectonic shift a series of these recent earthquakes have caused in the region — Manipur 6.7 (Jan 2016), Nepal 7.3 (May 2015) and Sikkim 6.9 (2011) — have re-ruptured the plates that had already developed cracks during previous temblors. This has led to conditions which might trigger multiple earthquakes which may go up to 8.0 in magnitude.
