Nepal at Risk of Another Earthquake

When an earthquake hit Nepal on April 25, known as the Gorkha earthquake, entire villages were flattened, large buildings toppled in the capital Kathmandu, and over 9,000 people lost their lives.

 The risk profile said: "India has highly populous cities and the constructions in these cities are predominantly not earthquake resistant.
 Regulatory mechanisms are weak, thus any earthquake striking in one of these cities would turn into a major disaster." The separate National Disaster Management Authority NDMA blames rapid urbanisation without regulation for the increase in earthquake risk in the area.
