A team of experts, including senior geologists, disaster management and landslide experts from the Geological Survey of India (GSI) and civil engineers have arrived in Kodagu to study low-intensity earthquakes that were reported recently in the district.
As people expressed anxiety over recurrent tremors experienced, the district administration had sought the experts’ help in unravelling the reasons for repeated quaking of the earth in Kodagu.
Locals had expressed apprehensions that tremors might cause landslides with cracks developed after shuddering of the earth. The continuing heavy rains have added to their fears.
