“…2) Moreover, there is attendant evidence where the so-called KTF-1 breaks the MFT (corresponding to the Sabilpur Fault), which includes offsets preserved in geological sections, offsets on the MFT and the topography offset all of which exhibit a left-lateral sense (Nanda, 1981;Kumar and Tandon, 1985;Jukar et al, 2019;Gill et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2022;Singh and Rajendran, 2023). 3) Further, the GNSS geodetic network of Kumar et al (2023) is not dense enough around the KTF-1 segment to clarify the sense of motion on this structure.…”

“…However, towards the south, their KTF-1 deviates eastward from this to offset the MFT near Sabilpur. There is overwhelming geological and geomorphic evidence to show that the Sabilpur Active Fault (SAF) has a left-lateral sense of movement (Nanda, 1981;Kumar and Tandon, 1985;Jukar et al, 2019;Gill et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2022;Singh and Rajendran, 2022). So, the article is unable to address the different kinematics of KTF-1 over its length (whether dextral/sinistral or both, then how?).…”

Kumar et al. (2023) in their article discuss and highlight the complexities involved in the comparison of long-term and short-term ongoing deformation in the Northwest Himalaya and their influence over the topographic evolution of the region. Their observations that rely largely on the GNSS geodetic results (Kumar et al., 2023) have also been the basis of conclusions presented in a companion paper by Malik et al., 2023a. The conclusions presented in the latter-mentioned paper have been questioned in a rejoinder by Singh and Rajendran (2023) and defended by Malik et al. (2023b). Below we present pointwise inconsistencies in the present study (Kumar et al., 2023) and the conclusions presented therein. We present our differing observations of the two segments of the fault system called the ‘Khetpurali-Taksal’ Fault (KTF-1 and KTF-2), as discussed in the paper by Kumar et al. (2023)
