HILL STATIONS ON ALERT: EXPERTS WARN OF HEIGHTENED SEISMIC RISK IN DARJEELING, KURSEONG — EVEN KOLKATA NOT SPARED

States   |   Dec 05, 2025

KOLKATA (FNO) — A series of recent geological assessments has raised alarms across the eastern Himalayas, with experts cautioning that popular hill stations such as Darjeeling and Kurseong fall within an increasingly volatile seismic belt. Updated hazard reports indicate that the broader region, including parts of Kolkata, may face significant tremor risks if tectonic pressures along the Himalayan arc continue to intensify.
Authorities urge preparedness as the new data underscores the need for stricter building norms and disaster-readiness across the affected zones.
