hey but i dnt agree with you man, we all are bound by the law to provide safe structures. even there are new projects who are taking care to avert any disasters through seismic-proof buildings. The developers are being sincere towards this at least for the upcoming projects.

the basic thing is almost 90% of our so-called reinforced framed buildings across India are vulnerable to natural disasters. So the increasing number of high rise structures in our country is also increasing and according o reports the statistic says it is going up by 2% every year, and the construction process of most of these goes unchecked. and hardly any builder follow the basic guidelines . so we are going into a tremendous place.
