The fact that the sound of the blast was recorded at the Earthquake Monitoring Centre at Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam according to C.N. Prabhu, scientist from Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre in Bengaluru, should cause serious concern about the safety of the Dam to those authorities entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the Dam’s safety and strength. It would be wise if a safety survey or investigation is undertaken immediately now that there is proof that what happens at the stone quarry at Baby Betta, 8 kms away, surely has an impact on the area where the Dam is located.
