“…In spite of many regional geophysical studies, shallow geophysical surveys done in the region are very limited (Mithila & Bansal, ), except a few site‐specific ground‐penetrating radar studies (Chowksey et al, ; Maurya et al, , ). Using the ground‐penetrating radar and coupled with field investigations, many active fault traces were identified in the region that suggested imprints of Holocene to post‐Tertiary tectonic activity along the faults (Kothyari et al, ; Mathew et al, ; Maurya et al, ; Patidar et al, , ; Prizomwala et al, ; Rajendran et al, ). Chowksey et al () have suggested that the KMF is morphologically expressed as E‐W trending steep scarps, while the actual fault line is located further north and is buried under the Quaternary colluvio‐fluvial sediments.…”
