Solution

Rampant and irregular construction means building houses, roads and other structures without proper planning or following safety rules. Such construction may make buildings weak and unsafe. Building in areas near rivers, on slopes or in other risky places can increase the chances of damage during earthquakes, floods, landslides and storms. Poor drainage and overcrowding can also make disasters more serious. Therefore, proper planning and following building safety rules are important to reduce the risk of disasters.
