Two earthquakes in two days in different parts of the country is worrying. Are our early warning systems robust enough, especially in the hills?

Hope everyone in Bageshwar is safe. Magnitude 3.5 is usually not damaging, but in the mountains, even a small shake can cause landslides. Stay alert, locals!

The data from NCS is very precise and timely. Good to see scientific institutions using social media effectively for public information.

This is nature's reminder. We must stop the rampant, illegal construction in our hill states. It's making these areas more vulnerable. Jai Uttarakhand!
