June 06 2014 : Rare Volcano-like eruption' in Himachal Pradesh, India
Reports of a "volcano-like eruption" in Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh has triggered panic among the people of the area.
Flames and a hot liquid stream were seen spewing out of a hill 100 m from Gadiyada village. The village is over 200 km from Shimla.
After a report by the state geologists confirmed the eruption as 'small magmatic activity', a team of Geological Survey of India (GSI) reached the site on Thursday. This is the first time such a volcanic activity has been witnessed in the state.
