Recently I came across an article that mentioned Bangalore (India) is sitting on a potentially seismic fault. [Click here] Indian Institute of Science made an announcement of this finding in some of the widely read newspapers of the town/nation. Can the government now claim in the event of a casualty, that citizens were given a warning a`priori? Have the people been given an opportunity to move out of this "perilous" location? Should safety questions be left to the “free market” or should government enforce rules to evacuate people in the citizens' best interests? Taking action is necessary but how soon is too soon?!
