refineries, radiation leakage and the existence of whole mankind within affected area is at grave risk. Even the threat of Tsunami is looming over 20 other countries.

which might not have the same resources to face similar or even lesser type of nature’s fury”, said Wani

Many severe natural calamities have shocked the backbone of the state; the last examples were the year 2005 earthquake of Tangdhar, Snow Avalanches in Doda during year 2008 and Cloud Bursts in Leh during 2010. The much important Batote-Doda-Kishtwar National Highway and even the Jammu Srinagar National Highway have today falls under danger zone.The cases of land slides and cracks in loose rock areas and
river Chenab banks have increased drastically”, he adds.
