Chennai, April 19 Experts from the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) will study the tremors and blast-like sounds felt in Natham and Vedasundar areas of Tamil Nadu.
This was announced by state Minister for Revenue and Disaster Management, K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran, on the floor of the Assembly on Wednesday.
The minister was responding to a motion moved by DMK members I.P. Senthilkumar and S. Gandhirajan.
Ramachandran said that the state government will take steps to prevent people from any catastrophe.
