Didn't sound like something Roger would say.

I went to the first click-bait link and was surprised to see a quote from Dr Roger Bilham at the University of Colorado predicting more quakes. I know Roger, so I did some digging to find the original news story in the Daily Mail.

And there, at the end of the article, was a correction:

"This article was amended on 22 April 2016. The article originally contained a quote attributed to Dr Roger Bilham that in regards to the Manipur earthquake of 04 January 2016 he stated "The current conditions might trigger at least four earthquakes greater than 8.0 in magnitude. And if they delay, the strain accumulated during the centuries provokes more catastrophic mega earthquakes." This quote was sourced from an article published by the Times of India on 06 January 2016 and headlined 'Big earthquake coming, warn MHA experts'. In fact Dr Bilham states that he never gave that quote to the Times of India. We are happy to set the record straight."

As for there being more quakes, we've mowed this grass before. Any increase in temblor frequency would be human induced, the result of disposing fracking waste water in deep wells.
