Weeks after hundreds of families were rendered homeless due to land subsidence in Uttarakhand's Joshimath, several houses in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda have developed cracks.
Cracks have started appearing in Nayi Basti, a residential township in Thathri area of the district. According to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Doda, Athar Amin Zargar, the cracks had started appearing in a house in December last year and have now started to aggravate.
"Cracks were reported in a house in December in the Doda district. Until yesterday, six buildings developed cracks, but now these cracks have started to increase and the area seems to be sinking as several structures in the area have developed cracks," SDM Doda, Athar Amin Zargar said talking to ANI.
