issues, and Morbi has experienced other serious fiascos. In 1979, an upstream
dam on the Machchu stream burst, sending walls of water into the city and
killing many individuals in one of India’s greatest dam disappointments.
In 2001, a huge number of individuals passed on in a seismic
tremor in Gujarat. Morbi, 150 kilometers (90 miles) from the shake’s focal
