Bhuj, India - The Indian government told survivors of the earthquake in Kutch region yesterday that it would rebuild their devastated towns and villages and try to make them quakeproof.

The government will construct only one- and two-storey buildings in the quake-prone area, not tower blocks like the ones that collapsed into heaps of rubble, a spokeswoman said.
