4.3 magnitude earthquake hits IIOJK’s Chenab valley
Jammu: A 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit Chenab valley with an epicenter in Gundoh area of Doda district in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The earthquake shook the entire region around 6.14am, today, but the time period was short.
“We don’t often feel such moderate earthquakes at our home but today it woke us all up. The tremor didn’t allow anyone to come out of their homes,” a resident of Doda told the media.
For the past few years Chenab valley has been witnessing frequent earthquakes and experts believe that such moderate earthquakes release pressure and the chances of any big earthquake become less.
As per the early reports no loss of life or property was reported from anywhere. KMS—6A
