Ministry of Earth Sciences Plans 100 New Seismic Observatories Nationwide
The Ministry of Earth Sciences plans to establish 100 new seismological observatories across India, including four each in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, to enhance earthquake monitoring. The National Seismological Network has grown from 84 stations in 2014 to 183 currently, improving detection from magnitude 4 to magnitude 3 earthquakes. The expansion aims to lower the detection threshold further to magnitude 2.5, enabling more precise monitoring nationwide, including the Himalayan and border regions.
