Land subsidence not due to seismic activity: expert [1]

LUCKNOW: With the subsidence of land leading to cracks in about a dozen districts of Uttar Pradesh, including Lucknow, causing panic among the villagers, the State government has sought to allay their fears, saying that the phenomena was not related to seismic activity. Fissures in land, of one metre in depth and about 1.40 feet wide, have been reported mainly in the drought-hit Bundelkhand region.
