Successive earthquakes, mostly mild to moderate, in the north-eastern hilly states, especially in Assam, Mizoram and Manipur, have alarmed the authorities, forcing public and private construction companies to build earthquake-resistant structures.

Seismologists consider the northeastern mountainous region to be the sixth most earthquake-prone region in the world.

In 1950, an 8.7-magnitude earthquake changed the course of the mighty Brahmaputra River, which runs through the bustling city of Guwahati, the northeastern region's main commercial center.
