Well, the answer is coming after a sigh of relief. According to the information given by the Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services, from this seismic event there is no chance of threat to India. They underpin the geographical proof that the earthquake has occurred in the Northern pacific ocean and it is far from the Indian ocean’s basin. So, the chances of disaster is hardly possible yet the authorities are on alert regarding this. Currently, the wave of the ocean is directed towards the Pacific coasts and not South Asia.
