Disaster experts fear a big one is about to hit northern India

For once, it is not doomsday prophesiers giving false warnings, as disaster management experts of the Union home ministry have warned there could be huge quakes rippling through the Himalayas in north and north east India at any time.

The Indian National Institute of Disaster Management NIDM said recent earthquakes that hit the region, including a 6.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Manipur on January 4, caused tectonic plates to re-rupture, increasing the likelihood of more and bigger tremors.

Even major city Delhi could be affected.
