Ridge in Shimla develops cracks

During the monsoon season, sinking zones in Shimla have been increased. The ridge area was sinking and the cracks had appeared on some parts of the ground. Shimla Municipal authorities had involved scientists and experts to study this issue in the past two years. This year more cracks have been developed near the ridge and Lakkar Bazar area. Since 1918, the issue of the sinking of the ridge was reported and it remains the same in current time as well. Temporary measures will not help to stop the sinking areas as permanent remedies are required to solve the matter. The local residents and shopkeepers are worried about the future as apart from their shops the schools of their kids also come under this zone.
