India and Pakistan war: These places in India may remain safe in case of nuclear attack, names are…
New Delhi: Following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the situation between India and Pakistan is highly charged up and it is said that a war could break out any time. Both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons. Some experts even suggest that Pakistan might use nuclear device since it cannot fight India in a conventional war. The whole world knows what a single atomic bomb can do as was witnessed during the World War 2 when the USA dropped one atomic bomb each on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
The weapons have become more powerful and destructive since then. As the fear of nuclear fallout looms large, the common people in India are wondering which places would be safest in case an atomic device is used. Here, we try to list a few places in India where the effects of this bomb are believed to be the minimum.
Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad are among the first targets due to their high population density and strategic importance.
Remote areas: While offering a lower risk than major cities, remote areas still face potential dangers from fallout and the long-term effects of a nuclear war.
During and immediately after a nuclear attack, seeking shelter in sturdy buildings, ideally with brick or concrete walls, is crucial to protect against the immediate blast wave and radiation.
The need for long-term planning: Long-term survival will depend on factors like food availability, water sources, and the ability to withstand the long-term effects of a nuclear winter, if one were to occur.
In the event of a nuclear war, remote areas within India, like those in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, and the Northeast, might offer a slightly better chance of survival compared to major cities. However, it’s crucial to remember that even these areas won’t guarantee complete safety.
