Late Pleistocene Fluvial Response to Tectonics in Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir

The Quaternary tectonics in the sub-Himalayan zone is postulated on the basis of the LANDSAT imagery study of the structural features in the area. These studies are corroborated by geomorphic evidences as well. The deposition of Katra fill at the foot of Trikuta hill, the entrenchment by river Tawi and deep gorge at the exit of river Tawi from Udhampur dun indicate neotectonism. The event resulted in the integration of fluvial system. This is evident from the presence of rock components of Inner Himalaya in the late Pleistocene deposits.
