150-meter-high hill disappeared

Without any apparent reason a 150 m tall hill disappeared in Tripura, India.

There was no earthquake, not even a mild tremor that the villagers of Tainani, a sleepy village in south Tripura, could feel. But the hill vanished all the same, as if sucked into a mighty pit in the earth’s womb, slowly taking down with it the trees and bushes that stood upon it.

On July 21, there was intermittent drizzle but that was not an uncommon thing to the villagers but at around 11 am, the villagers heard “deep-throated gurgling” sounds. According to a local person, who owned the hill said that “the noise became louder with every passing moment and after about 30 minutes, with a big boom, the hill started steadily going down”.

“We often have to walk around the hill going about our work but never noticed anything unusual or even a small crack in the earth there,” says a villager.

That is something geologist have to take a look into. But the local people have already started their traditional rituals to scare away the demon force that might have caused the incident. (news source)
