Kashmir could face deadly earthquake in coming 50 years

The new study has found that Kashmir could face a massive and deadly earthquake in the coming 50 years. The earthquake could be far more maganitude compared to the recent quake that killed more than 73000 people in PoK and around 1500 in Jammu and Kashmir.

Roger Bilham who has been working in quake-affected areas of Pakistan for the past two months, said that a huge amount of energy was stored in the faultline in the Kashmir region, but it was unevenly distributed, and this had the possibility of triggering massive earthquakes (http://www.himalyanindia.com/dir/Science/Earth_Sciences/Geophysics/Earthquakes/) .

The nature of aftershocks the region experienced after the quake was also a matter of concern. It also showed that the Kashmir region could have something like a magnitude eight earthquake.

The pressure is building up around the south-eastern tip. In other words, it means that should the faultline slip in the south-east, the shockwave is very likely to travel towards the plains of Punjab - possibility extending down to the historic city of Lahore.

PoK government should put together a massive reconstruction exercise across the quake zone.
Its true we cannot stop earthquake to occur but we can take measure actions to overcome and to low the destructions that could occur.

What measure actions two countries government should be taken to save the livings of the people who are residing in that areas?

It is very threatning to hear that such a powerful earthquake can come in few years,we cannot stop the natrual disasters but we can surely take some measures to lessen the disaster.The government should take some proper measures to prevent the disaster and they have enough time also.

Earthquake prone buildings, roads, highways should be built and an anti-disaster team should be kept there to assist the people as soon as possible when these kinda disaster strike. This is the best we could do and also set up a system which will give us accurate reading of when a natural calamity is going to take place and where so that we can take early precautions.

Government should educate the people about the appropriate precautions that should be taken to lessen the destruction.
