The tender process to buy a seismometer for Jayakwadi dam in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar will start in three to four months, an irrigation official said on Friday.
Incidentally, tremors were felt in Nanded and Hingoli districts near here a day earlier, though there was no loss of life or property. “The seismometer installed at Jayakwadi dam after the Killari earthquake of 1993 had a range of 10000 kilometres and has measured earthquakes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal. However, the instrument is old and beyond repair. Discussions are on with MERI (Maharashtra Engineering Research Institute), Nasik to procure a new one which will be automated,” the irrigation official said.
