Residents of Delhi, particularly those living in high rise buildings in the city's eastern parts, be warned. A massive earthquake may not be far away. The spate of 10 minor quakes ranging from 1.6 to 3 on the Richter scale in the past month is suggestive of a probable large one in the near future, said Jitender Pal, a project officer with the Disaster Risk Management Programme of New Delhi. Delhi, a city of 15 million, is located barely 300 km away from the Himalayas, placing it under risk.
