Vataman – Though this small village in Ahmedabad district was not majorly damaged in last Friday's quake, a strange phenomenon has been causing anxiety among the villagers.
Soon, other places in the village reported the same phenomenon,'' said a state Public Works Department official I.T. Gohil, who is posted at the Vataman site office.
A few hours later, another villager noticed a similar but larger spill on the Shelwa river bed, drawing a huge crowd at the place.
