Located in zone IV of seismic activity, Delhi is in a high danger zone. <br /><br />“The Gangetic plains are located at plate boundary between Eurasian and Indian plates. This is a continuous process happening for the last 50 million years,” the official said. <br />“There is no system to predict future earthquakes.” <br /><br />According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), in 2000-09, earthquakes accounted for nearly 60 percent of deaths by disasters. <br /></p>
