Kanpur (Lucknow), Jan 11 (ANI): After conducting an inspection survey of the upstream and downstream region near the Joshimath area, which is affected by landslide and land-subsidence, Prof Rajeev Sinha, team head of Kanpur IIT Geological Research, said the situation in Joshimath could worsen if there is a spell of rain or an earthquake.“The cracks and destruction had started earlier. It's winter season. But after a spell of rain or if an earthquake hits this area, the situation would be beyond control,” said Prof Sinha.
