Scientists have predicted more destruction and calamity in India if it is hit by another tsunami. The reason: India's natural barriers against tsunami have been badly damaged in the 2004 tsunami and it will take more than a decade for them to heal. Scientists in a recent study warned that mangroves, coral reefs, tidal inlets and saline area forests of the country, which act as natural barrier against tsunami, have been so badly damaged that if the country is hit by another tsunami, its impact will be more catastrophic.
