The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) on Sunday sought to allay fears following rumblings and vibrations reported underground from villages in Thrissur, Kottayam, and Kasaragod districts.
The sounds could be due to the natural phenomenon of underground pressure being released due to the movements in the inner core of the earth and there was no cause for concern at present, said a release issued by the KSDMA.
The chances of other problems arising from small amounts of pressure being released are very low. Since the movements were so small, they were not reported to the observatories attached to the National Centre for Seismology. However, the State Disaster Management Authority is monitoring the situation along with the Delhi-based National Centre for Seismology.
