Title: Replies to comments raised by Singh T., and Rajendran C.P. On paper “Geological evidence of paleo-earthquakes on a transverse right-lateral strike-slip fault along the NW Himalayan front: Implications towards fault segmentation and strain partitioning” by Malik et al. (2023), [JAES, 244, 105518]
Abstract: This communication basically comprise replies to the comments raised by Singh and Rajendran (SR) on our paper Malik et al. (2023) published in Journal of Asian Earth Sciences. We would like to bring to the notice of the readers that our studies and findings are based on a robust methodology towards identification and interpretation of active fault traces. Based on detailed satellite data interpretations, field evidence, paleoseismic studies and GNSS Geodesy data we suggested that Khetpurali Taksal Fault (KTF) is a major fault system with prominent dextral strike-slip motion which marks the segment boundary between the Central and NW Himalaya. Further, an attempt was also made to understand the role of KTF in regional context. We disagree with the claims made by SR. The quires raised by SR are completely baseless and expose their lack of experience and understanding.
