Ground reality: India’s megacities are slowly sinking - over 23,000 buildings may face severe damage
India's megacities are sinking, with over 2,400 buildings at high risk of damage due to land movement. Nearly 1.9 million people and millions of buildings face significant ground subsidence. Researchers warn of potential structural failures within 50 years if groundwater depletion and rapid construction continue unchecked, highlighting a growing urban hazard.
