It could be a case of misquoting by the reporter, unless the official quoted is a bureacrat who is not a scientist and thus could make such misleading comments (usually senior DST officials are scientists themselves). It is not possible that population growth and encroachment can make areas susceptible to earthquakes, as you said, and what my limited knowledge as a qualified geologist says. I think the actual comment could have been something to do with how the damage could be more extensive in times of earthquakes because of population growth and encroachment - something that is waiting to happen in Guwahati when the next Big Quake happens.

[asom] Gouged Rhino
since I was a kid, I used to read news of poaching and always wondered on what exactly is being done to stop this. At this picture, I feel like crying One-horned Rhino is unique to Assam and nobody cares it seems. Govt must intervene in the functioning of Kaziranga MAintenance. How can they allow something this serious just below their nose India had been a country of traitors, for money they won't shy away from selling their country its evident since British Rule. they ruled us, 'coz few traitors allowed them to And today, few crazy people are ready to pay anything for Rhino-horn, and what a shame that people're Selling it escaping unnoticed what we're left with is this picture to feel sad and hand-tied at.

[asom] Report carves out quake belt-Aiport in high-risk, GU in moderate
In stead of saying, Population growth and encroachment can make areas susceptible to earthquakes, the report should have said, Population growth and encroachment can cause worse earthquake damage. There would have been no questions then. I am sure there are other forms of sentences to describe the same cause and effect relationship.
