This is surely a shocking news to Andhra Pradesh capital region people who will be suffering a high risk of earthquake effect if it hits India. Many say that after Nepal, quake's target would be India where the Andhra Pradesh capital region incurs a huge loss. There were slight tremors yesterday in the proposed capital region's Amaravathi and Undavalli for a few seconds.
So, the decision of the proposed capital region falling in the earthquake zone is annoying all. It seems the CRDA areas are classified to be under the earthquake zone 3 recording a magnitude of 6 on Richter scale. As the capital is still in budding state, the constructions here have to be built so that they can withstand this pressure.
As the Guntur and Krishna are low lying compared to the projects Nagarjuna Sagar, Srisailam and so on, extra care should be taken in order to withstand with all the natural calamities that may hit the capital. The AP govt was warned by the Sivaramakrishnan committee hinting the proposed capital region being hit by natural calamities quite often.
So, what do you think? Will Babu change the capital zone? Or will he take the precautions needed? Let's see! This quake may be a warning bell to the proposed region.
