Earthquake in Karachi: There have been at least 21 earthquakes of light intensity in the last two days in Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, but on Wednesday (June 4), there was a difference of opinion over the possible major earthquake at the end of this week. The intensity of earthquakes from Sunday night in Karachi and its surrounding areas was in the middle category and their intensity was between 2.1 and 3.6.

A 3.6 magnitude earthquake recorded on Sunday night

A 3.6 magnitude earthquake was recorded on Sunday night, due to which the wall of Malir Jail in the city collapsed and about 216 prisoners fled from jail. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has not advised citizens to panic, as its officials claim that the intensity of the earthquake will soon be reduced. PMD Director General Mahar Sahibzad Khan said, “The tremors of light intensity will continue for the next two to three days and as the intensity of the earthquake will be reduced, the situation will improve.”

Earthquake News and Research Center CEO Shahbaz Laghari has claimed that his team had already predicted the recent earthquakes in Karachi. He said that this week is particularly important for the residents of Karachi this week and the Sindh government should already warn the public.

What is the reason why there is frequent earthquake in the city?

Shahbaz Laghari said, “Our research shows that a series of mild tremors of the earthquake often indicates that a big earthquake is about to occur.” Karachi’s chief meteorologist Aamir Haider Laghri said that the historic ‘fault line’ has been activated in Karachi and this is why there are frequent earthquakes in the city.

‘Fault line’ means cracks on the surface of the earth long before or in rocks. Dr. Imran Ahmed Khan of the Department of Geography of Karachi University said that imbalance between Indian, Eurasian and Arabian plates could be the cause of earthquake in the city. He said that when the balance between the plates is established, the earthquakes will probably stop.

However, the US Geological Survey Agency (USGS) and India’s National Earthquake Science Center (NCS) have not recorded a single earthquake incident in Karachi and its surrounding areas since Sunday.

Pakistan News: Pakistan’s Economic Center and Sindh’s capital Karachi is at the top of the list of Pakistani cities refusing to give polio vaccine, where families refused to feed their children during the anti -polio virus operations. These worrying figures were told by the country’s federal health minister Mustafa Kamal. He said that 85 percent of the families refused to give their children a dose of polio virus.

The main reason for this is misconceptions and rumors. Such as the side effects of the vaccine or not being safe. Apart from this, lack of awareness in some areas and socio-economic challenges are also increasing this problem. The Government of Pakistan has launched a comprehensive vaccination campaign to improve this situation and is trying to make people aware of the importance of vaccine.

44000 families refused to feed children polio

Addressing a press conference in Karachi, Kamal revealed that at least 44000 families in Pakistan have refused to give their children a dose of polio virus vaccine. He said, “At this time, in Pakistan, there are 44,000 denial cases, of which Karachi alone has 34,000. It is 85 to 90 percent figure. I have come to explain that it is a crime to not get your children vaccinated. “

Campaign is also going on in Afghanistan

Kamal highlighted that cases of refusal of polio dosage in Pakistan are a big challenge. Similar to Pakistan, an anti-polio vaccination campaign is going on in Afghanistan and this is a much larger program. Kamal said, “This is the first time that polio vaccination campaign is being conducted simultaneously in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Taliban is sending teams from house to house to vaccinate children. Their program is bigger than our program. He is vaccinating children in Afghanistan and they will eradicate the virus in a few years. Drink polio medicine to children. “

Polio virus still present in both countries

Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only countries in the world where polio virus is still present. One reason for the presence of the virus is that people refuse to get their children vaccinated. Polio health workers have also been victims of targeted murders and attacks by terrorist groups. Kamal announced that another nationwide polio vaccination campaign would start from April 21, in which at least 4,15,000 polio workers will participate. He urged the citizens to respect and cooperate with them. He urged, “Please respect them as they are trying to protect your children’s future.”
