I don't think its man made disaster. As far as I know Earthquakes happen when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip  past one another . The surface where they slip is called Fault or fault plane. The only fault I see is if a region is located in an Earthquake  prone region, Earth quakes happen.

 

To some extent Human being is also responsible for earth quakes. We are extracting oil, mineral and many things from earth which creates vacuum,  and space is created in layers of earth resulting in the movement of plates.

A good info. But earthquakes caused due to activities of mining and drilling are very few, especially in India. Most  of the earthquakes are due to geographical location of the place which are prone to earthquakes.

 

 

In the last few years the earth quakes are happening more frequent than earlier. Earthquakes around frequency of richer scale 5 - 6 are more in count in last few years.

The Indian sub continent  has a history of devastating Earthquakes. When  an Earthquake of 7.2 magnitude struck Tajikistan, the tremors were felt in India and Pakistan.  

The major reason for the high frequency  and intensity of the earthquakes  is the Indian plate is driving in to Asia at a rate of  47 mm per year. Geographical statistics say almost 54% of the land in India is vulnerable to earthquakes.

Now MHA experts are warning for more powerful earth quake of magnitude 8 or above in the near future which can occur in Himalayan region.

Not only Indian experts, University of Colorado too warned about the future earthquakes in Northeast and other Hill states .

Earthquake is a natural disaster and it can happen anywhere at any time. We cannot prevent it anyway. Earthquake is a common incident in the north-eastern boarder of our country. The earthquake that occurred recently at Manipur took the life of ten people and made injury to more than 100 people. It made damage to few buildings, residential units and government offices. Electricity connection was cut off in the state soon after the earthquake.

Earthquakes happen only in Earthquake prone regions. Even Delhi also falls in Earthquake prone region. Generally Zone 5 comprises of entire N.E region and parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

Again an Earth Quake of intensity 5.5 reported in parts of Pakistan, Afganistan and J & K at 2.37 pm.. This is an alarming situation as in last few months many earth quakes occurred and experts have given an alert for earth quake of intensity more than 8.

Shocking and alarming.  5 earthquakes in a span 2 months shows, India and Afghanistan will not be free from earthquakes in the future.

the earth is facing so much of problem now-a-days specially the earthquake are making the earth weak and in future it will not be good for all .
