The Association of Exploration Geophysicists has called upon the State Government to take action against Chennai based scholar N Venkatanathan for creating panic among the people by predicting a major earthquake. The Association has also expressed the view that as an earthquake is yet to be predicted, the Government of Asom, instead of paying heed to the predictions, should concentrate more on creating awareness among the people about the steps to be taken during and after an earthquake and concentrate on maintaining the building standards.
