Reasi Fault Line Worries Geologists: Potential for Major Earthquake

Geologists are concerned about the Reasi fault line in Kashmir, which hasn't released significant energy in decades. A major earthquake, potentially magnitude 8.0 or greater, is feared. The fault's potential for destruction surpasses the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. Poor construction practices in Jammu and Kashmir exacerbate the risk to the 700,000 people living near the fault line.
