notice the last one to hit was in 1905, at a magnitude of 7.8
if the same earthquake hits today it would mean loss of life in the hundreds of thousands due to increased population and buildup of rigid cement based structures that are not capable of absorbing shock and are lethal to any human caught in them.
question,
is their anything being done to prepare for earthquakes in punjab at the moment. Most people I talk to seem oblivious to this threat.
Punjab could be the next Haiti
