It is a very little known fact that sub-Gangetic West Bengal falls under an intense seismic gap.
This is in Seismic Zone 4, far worse than Ahmedabad.
A seismic gap is a region which has developed a considerable seismic strain due to the tectonic plate activity over a long period.
Such areas, which have not experienced an earthquake over a long period, are at extreme risk of an impeding earthquake.
As a concerned citizen, I am writing this post.
(Of course, geologists in the Eastern Region have made detailed calculations and suggested remedifications).
