A new scientific study reveals that nearly 700 years of accumulated geological stress beneath the Himalayas could be enough to trigger not one, but two Mw 8.8 earthquakes in the future. Researchers analysing fault locking, land deformation and megathrust behaviour warn that the region is far more vulnerable than previously understood. With India now placing the Himalayas in the highest-risk seismic zone, the threat of twin megaquakes raises urgent questions about preparedness, monitoring and long-term risk. This episode breaks down the findings, the science behind the stress buildup, and what it really means for millions living across the Himalayan belt.
