Ground Report

Sever earthquake tremors jolted Chitral and Northern Areas for the last two consecutive nights—Jan 4 and 5—at midnight, but no causalities have been reported yet. The epicenter of the earthquake is believed to be in the Hindu Kush. The jolts of the earthquake were also felt in the district of Dir, Swat and in Gilgit and Baltistan in Northern Areas. In Chitral people panicked in the midnight and fled their houses for the open spaces for their life. People now seems to spend sleepless nights thinking about the recurrence of the earthquake.
