Karachi, the bustling capital of Sindh province, experienced a seismic event on Wednesday. The tremors, originating from the New Malir district, registered a 3.1 magnitude on the Richter scale. The National Seismic Monitoring Centre (NSMC) confirmed the quake’s depth at 12km.
The quake’s ripples were felt across various regions of Karachi, including Landhi, Quaidabad, Kathore, and Gadap Town. This seismic activity follows a similar event from last year on October 16, where a 3.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded near the Quaidabad area of Karachi with a depth of 15 kilometres.
The recent tremors have been reported in several areas, including Gulshan-e-Hadeed, Cattle Colony, Shah Latif Town, Sherpao Colony, Landhi, Muzaffarabad Colony, Muslimabad Colony, Steel Town, and their adjoining areas. The residents were left in a state of mild panic but no significant damage has been reported.
This event serves as a reminder of the geological activity beneath the city’s surface and the importance of preparedness for such natural occurrences. The NSMC continues to monitor the situation closely.
