I switched on the TV this morning and the first thing I heard was reports of an earthquake in Northern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Jammu-Kashmir, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttranchal and adjacent areas of Pakistan are affected by the quake measuring 7.6 in the richter scale. The epicentre was somewhere near Muzzaffarabad , Kashmir. Areas of Baramula, Srinagar and Poonch were also affected. I heard quite a few houses collapsed. A high rise building in Islamabad has collapsed too. Tremors were felt even in Punjab, Gujrat and Rajasthan. The Srinagar-Muzzaffarabad highway is blocked.
I hope everyone in Northern India, Pakistan and Kashmir is fine. Please take care ….
