'Can understand, not predict earthquakes': Kalachand Sain - Times of India

CHANDIGARH: Inaugural session of 'National Conference on Earthquake: Investigation & Instrumentation' (NCEII, 2019) was held at Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) on Monday.
Kalachand Sain, director, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun, was the chief guest. In his inaugural address, he said, "Though we are able to understand earthquakes scientifically, we are unable to predict them due to complexity of earth. He said the conference will serve to bridge the gaps of our understanding to provide realizable solution."
Dr N Gopalakrishnan, director Central Building Research Institute, who was the guest of honour showed interest in the seismological observatory established in CSIO.
Prof R K Sinha, director, CSIO, in his inaugural address said that earthquake monitoring has been one of the thrust areas of CSIO. Besides routine seismic monitoring in its well established seismic observatories, CSIO is now diversifying into new niche in this technology for strategic and tactical applications.
