Srinagar: In an eerie similarity with that of Joshimath, nearly seven houses in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district have developed cracks. According to media reports, government authorities are trying to find a solution to prevent land subsidence and sinking.
Residents of the Basti locality of Thathri town of Doda district have moved to live with their neighbours or relatives. Following this, a team of geologists and senior district officials have visited the spot to ascertain the reasons behind the cracks, reports India Today.
“Cracks were reported in a house in December in the Doda district. Till yesterday, six buildings had cracks, but now these cracks have started to increase. This area is gradually sinking. The government is trying to find a solution as soon as possible,” Athar Amin Zargar, Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Doda, said.
