💨 Abstract

Himachal Pradesh Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena has advocated for adopting traditional construction techniques to withstand seismic activity, citing their historical effectiveness in the region. The call comes on the 120th anniversary of the 1905 Kangra earthquake, a major disaster that claimed thousands of lives and destroyed numerous houses. Saxena urged for continuous awareness campaigns and proactive measures by panchayats to enhance disaster preparedness.
