A leading weather scientist and geological expert has warned that the Indian tectonic plate is moving about 5 cm every year. Dr N Purnachandra Rao said, "We have a strong network of 18 seismograph stations in Uttarakhand. The region, referred to as the seismic gap between Himachal and the western part of Nepal, including Uttarakhand, is prone to earthquakes that might occur any time."
