Tremors in Kodagu may be a sign of impending disaster: seismologists- The New Indian Express

Express News Service

BENGALURU: Seismologists and experts have warned that the frequent earthquakes and tremors that occur in Kodago are a sign of impending disaster that should not be ignored with the assumption that the Deccan Plateau, the Earth’s oldest formation, is the safest region in terms of seismology.

After studying the nature of the tremors and their increasing frequency, experts have predicted at least 100 tremors in the region in the coming days, around which the government needs to take a serious look to mitigate losses in the event of a larger seismic disaster. And while they said the earthquakes measured 3.0 on the Richter scale not to worry, they also cautioned not to ignore the tremors. Floods, landslides and now earthquakes in the area are a warning sign to be vigilant, they said, noting that the fragile Western Ghats is not safe.

These observations were made by a team of experts who visited the region over the past few days to assess the situation. Their observations are based on assessments they have made over the past week and on the number of earthquakes that have occurred, and the visiting experts were seismologists, disaster management cell officials and local management officials.

The team also raised concerns about earthquakes during the monsoon period. “It happens nowadays after the rain. Also rainfall was recorded in the area around 6cm. We are worried about 12-15cm rains for 3-4 days and earthquake happened at the same time. Then there will be more disasters,” he said. Local administration official: “Unable to do anything to avoid this, all we do is pray.”

An official with the National Center for Seismology, who asked not to be named, said: “If the number of earthquakes and vibrations intensifies, this is a matter of concern. Then there is an urgent need to study the waves and faults. However, the government should not relax. Careful monitoring of the situation is required.”

‘Quarries cause for concern’

Another member of the inspection team from the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Center said portable seismic recording devices were kept in Chimbu to record earthquakes in a radius of 8 km. Formation, one cannot rest on the assumption that nothing will happen. The increasing number of quarries is also a cause for concern. The Western Ghats are fragile and prone to disasters. Kodagu is a disaster alert in the making.”

The seismologist explained that illegal quarries that were taking place in the protected forest near the area could be one of the reasons. Even when the local administration stopped it eight months ago, gaps have already been created in the underground layers. If you see, the depth (the epicenter) is 10 km and below. So unless the gaps are filled, earthquakes will happen.”
