We hear about cyclones, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods and landslides much more often. Look at the last two decades of the history of disasters in India. 2001, the Bhuj earthquake; 2004, the tsunami; 2013, Uttarakhand flood, 2018, floods in Kerala.Tue, 06 Nov 2018 15:48:00 +0100HindustanTimes-9809fdaa1fed39e4fa2c5cc75dc125a120181106154800
