Jabalpur, May 22 (HS) The devastating earthquake of May 22, 1997 in Sanskardhani has not allowed people to sleep peacefully even today. It has been 27 years since this devastating earthquake, but its horrifying memories are still in people's minds. The most affected area of this earthquake was Kosamghat Ghana 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. There were 54 people who slept that night but never saw the morning and died. People still remember that dangerous morning of May 22 in which the earthquake struck at 4:20. Disaster management only does a formality on the anniversary of the earthquake. The administration ends its work by doing home guard activities and a little publicity as a show. Whereas Jabalpur and surrounding areas situated in earthquake zone are still on the brink of danger.
The management does not have time to know whether the big apartments and high-rise buildings being built in the city are made of earthquake resistant material or not. What proper arrangements has the management made to protect the biggest Bargi Dam of Jabalpur located in the earthquake zone, which can become a cause of danger in the event of an earthquake? This information is available only on paper. Jabalpur and the surrounding area is an earthquake zone, this is proved by the fact that earthquake tremors still occur in the neighboring district Seoni. The seismograph installed on the hills of Jabalpur is a witness to this.
