High time for the disaster management authority to come forward and help the victims
KECH: The capital city of Islamabad and some other cities and places in eastern Punjab experienced a powerful 5.8-magnitude earthquake. The earthquake created chaos and brought about public panic in the affected areas. Around 50 people were wounded due to the earthquake in Mirpur. It is high time for the disaster management authority to come forward and help the victims. It is also equally important to rebuild infrastructure, taking into consideration the natural disasters that could possibly occur in the region to prevent such damage from occurring in the future.
