The Mega Earthquake if occurs in the valley may lead to unpredicted disaster. It has been estimated that during such quake, there may occur approximately 60,000 deaths, 1,00,000 injuries and 7,00,000 or more rendered homeless. About 80% of the building will be severely damaged and 60% of the bridges will collapse, Road access to the valley will be cut off for weeks to months due to landslide. The most densely populated core area of the cities with narrow streets may become inaccessible for weeks after quake. The political, social, and economical environment of the valley changes whenever there is disbalance in the supply of food, petroleum products and other goods. Can you imagine the situation of the valley, if this supply stops for months????
