Earthquake Proof.....


This is the building of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (the telecom department ) and one of the most recently constructed building. One of its striking feature is that its built in a slanting way and this is suppose to be earthquake proof. Shillong falls in the earthquake belt and in the year 1897 Shillong experienced one of the most devastating eartquakes in the history of India ......well whether this building is really earthquake proof or not....i don't know and won't want to experience it too.
