'India lacks quake preparedness': Experts

Pointing to an increase in tectonic activities that escalate the chances of more earthquakes in India, experts say the country’s preparedness to deal with the disasters seems to be missing, reports News One.

Officials at the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) agreed that repeated earthquakes are a warning bell for the government to sensitise the people to constructing quake-resistant buildings, "we wait till the disaster strikes us. After the Gujarat earthquake in 2001, for three-four months everyone was talking about preventive measures but no productive steps were taken."
