Jabalpur, May 22 (HS) The devastating earthquake of 22 May 1997 in Sanskaardhani did not allow people to sleep peacefully even today. It has been 27 years since this devastating earthquake but its horrific memories are still in people's minds. The maximum impact of this earthquake was in areas like Kosamghat, Ghana etc. near Barela. People were rendered homeless due to the collapse of kutcha and pucca houses in the city. Many people lost their family members and many people lost their homes forever. Even today people get goosebumps remembering that devastating earthquake. 54 There were people who slept that night but who never saw the morning and died in death. People still remember that dangerous morning of 22nd May when the earthquake occurred at 4:20 am. On the anniversary of the earthquake, disaster management supplies only food. The administration achieves its goal by showing off the activities of the Home Guards and spreading some publicity. Whereas Jabalpur and the surrounding areas situated in the earthquake zone are still sitting at the edge of danger.
The management does not have time to find out whether the big apartments and high rise buildings being built in the city are being built with earthquake resistant material or not. What proper arrangements has the management made to protect Jabalpur's biggest Bargi dam which is situated in the earthquake zone and can become a cause of danger in case of an earthquake. This information is only on paper. Jabalpur and the surrounding area is an earthquake zone, this is proved by the fact that earthquakes keep coming in the neighboring district Seoni even now. The seismograph installed on the hills of Jabalpur is a witness to this.
