Last Saturday, Pakistan felt the ground shake as a moderate earthquake struck different parts of the country. Places like Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) were at the center of it all, but the tremors spread far and wide.
Communities in Ath Makam, Kundal Shahi, Kuttan, Jora, and Barrian were among those who felt the earth move beneath them. Even places like Keran, Upper Neelum, Nagdar, Lawat Bala, Sharda, and Kel were not spared from the quake’s reach.
It was a moment of panic for many, but amidst the fear, there was unity. People came together, reciting verses from the Holy Quran for comfort. Despite the initial shock, there were no reports of people getting hurt or buildings getting damaged, which is a huge relief.
Authorities are on the lookout for any aftershocks and have asked everyone to stay calm and stay safe. It’s all about being prepared and knowing what to do if another tremor hits.
The recent earthquake was a reminder of nature’s power, but it also showed how strong and united Pakistanis can be in the face of adversity. By staying informed and ready, we can face anything that comes our way with courage and strength.
