Low intensity earthquakes a good sign to reduce possibility of major tremor, need to join hands for reducing vulnerability, risk: Experts

Srinagar, Dec 19: At least 11 earthquakes and aftershocks have jolted Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh in 24 hours period while the experts here have stated that low intensity shakes is a good sign as it would dwindle the possibility of a major earthquake.

According to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), five-back-to-back earthquakes jolted J&K and Ladakh within a span of one hours on Monday afternoon while two more aftershocks were witnessed later in the evening, taking the toll of shakes to 7 in a day.

Moreover, four more earthquakes jolted the twin Union Territories in the morning, taking the toll up to 11 within a span of 24 hours.

The origin of all the earthquakes was Zanskar Kargil and Kishtwar in Jammu & Kashmir, the officials said.

Today, the first earthquake measuring 3.0 magnitude jolted J&K and Ladakh parts at 3:57 AM while the second with a magnitude of 3.4 jolted the UTs at 10:30 AM.

The third and fourth earthquakes measuring 2.9 and 2.8 jolted the places at 11:18 Am and 11:28 AM respectively.

The experts have, however, asked the people to take precautionary measures, saying that there was no need to panic.

Senior Assistant Professor at Department of Earth Sciences Kashmir University, Dr Rakesh Chandra, while talking to KNO said that the tremors felt since yesterday is a normal phenomenon as the earth has to release its energy. “Zanskar, Kargil and Kishtwar in J&K is in zone five and considered as the most vulnerable areas of the earthquake, thus these earthquakes and aftershocks witnessed since last afternoon are quite normal,” he said.

He added that the earthquakes are unavoidable as the earth has to release its energy and even if the energy is getting released through low intensity shocks, it is a good sign as it will help in avoiding a major earthquake, which would release the accumulated energy in it.

“We need to see the earthquake and aftershocks in a positive aspect and there is no need to panic, but we need to take precautionary measures like constructing our houses on seismically approved design to prevent the losses,” he said.

Moreover, Professor Shakil Romshoo, an earth scientist and Vice Chancellor of Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), said that “keeping in view our historical vulnerability to earthquakes, we all need to be conscious about our role and responsibility as far as disaster preparedness is concerned, particularly in case of earthquakes.”

“We must, as individuals, community and society or as a part of the government, work in tandem and join hands for reducing our vulnerability and risk to earthquakes,” he said—(KNO)

Have received several complaints, matter being investigated: Cyber Police Kashmir

Srinagar, Dec 19: A major scam involving financial fraud worth crores has surfed in the Kashmir Valley after investors alleged that they were duped of their hard earned money by some private company based in the Valley.

According to details available with the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) some investors today held a protest in Srinagar alleging that they were duped by a private investment firm of their hard earned money.

“We were lured to invest money in the company stating that the money you invest will get doubled within 15 days. This prompted us to invest money in the firm and in the first few months they received the money as promised, however, after sometime they didn’t get any response from the firm, which created doubt in their minds,” said one of the protestors.

She said that she along with her other family members invested around Rs 5 lakh in the firm and they were motivated by a social media influencer after he had posted some videos on his YouTube channel, claiming the the firm was authentic and he himself has invested his money in the same firm.

“A few days ago we tried to contact the firm and its employees, but we have not been getting any response. We have now been duped of our hard earned money. This company is fraud as it cheated many people here and duped them of crores,” she added.

Meanwhile, local employees who were working in the firm and were directly dealing with the customers or investors claimed that they have themselves been duped of their money as were not aware of firm’s credentials.

“We would be asked by administrators of the firm, who are based in Chennai and would sometimes stay in Srinagar also, to ask customers and investors to invest their money based on some plans and their money would be doubled in 15 days,” said one of the employees of the firm.

He said that initially the doubled amount was credited in the bank accounts of customers or investors and they themselves (employees) also started to invest their salaries in the firm, however, they have also been duped of the money as well as of their employment.

A senior officer of Cyber Police Kashmir told KNO that they have received some complaints against the firm and they taken cognisance of the same. “We are further investigating the matter and those involved will be bright to justice,” he said—(KNO)
