Nainital, the famous city of Uttarakhand, is currently facing dangers from all sides. According to the information, incidents of landslides, cracks and earthquakes in the city have filled people with fear. There are also reports of mountains collapsing in a large area of ​​several kilometers in the city. Questions are also being raised whether the city of ‘Nainital’ will be erased from the map of geography. Let us know everything about this matter.

CBRI will survey houses

Actually, despite the dangers, the population in Nainital city is increasing. The city is filled with a large number of tourists and construction of a large number of buildings is also going on. According to media reports, CBRI i.e. Central Building Research Institute has come forward in this matter and is assessing whether the city of Nainital will be able to withstand earthquake tremors. Information has come to light in media reports that CBRI has decided to survey 1 thousand houses built without planning in Nainital. Under this, it will be investigated whether the houses located in the city are safe for earthquakes. Under the investigation, a study report will be prepared on the rescue and carrying capacity.

Landslides and new cracks have appeared

According to reports, incidents of landslides have been reported in many areas of Nainital city including Tiffintop, China Peak, Chartanlodge, Snowview. Along with this, new cracks have also started appearing in many areas. Earlier in the year 2009, many experts had prepared a report on the carrying capacity of Nainital and sent it to the government. It is believed that the government is preparing to take steps to implement the suggestions of geologists and common people to save Nainital.

Rats also created terror

Amidst the threat of landslides in the hills of Nainital, rats have also created terror. Rats have hollowed out the walls of thousands of houses and commercial establishments in the city, the safety walls of drains, etc. Due to this, the drains are getting choked and removing the debris is proving to be a challenging task for the cleaners. The Nainital District Magistrate has also sought a report after conducting tests in this matter. According to media reports, rats have also hollowed out the security walls of Mall Road and other roads near the lake. If the soil of the walls comes out, it increases the risk of cracks in houses and land subsidence.

Mountains are sinking in 3 KM
