Reports of a “volcano like eruption“ in Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh has triggered panic among the locals. Flames and a hot liquid stream were seen spewing out of a hill 100 metres from Gadiyada village, which is located 200 kilometres away from Shimla. After a report by the state geologists confirmed the eruption as `small magmatic activity', a team from Geological Survey of India (GSI) reached the site on Thursday . This is the first time such volcanic activity has been seen in the state.
Fearing that a bigger eruption could damage their property, residents of around half a dozen villages are anxiously awaiting the report of the GSI team.
