Landhi fault line still active; two more tremors recorded

Karachi was shaken again on Friday morning by two earthquakes, bringing the total number of tremors in six days to 32.

According to Express News, the first quake's epicentre was in DHA (Malir), while the second originated in the Malir district.

Earlier last night, residents in Cattle Colony and surrounding areas also felt tremors, causing widespread panic. Many residents rushed out of their homes, reciting the Kalma.

Since Sunday, Karachi has witnessed multiple low-intensity earthquakes across various localities, escalating concerns among the populace.

The National Tsunami Centre director at the Meteorological Department, Ameer Haider Laghari, has warned that the Landhi fault line is expected to remain active for the coming days.

He explained that movements in underground tectonic layers are generating energy gradually being released, resulting in these recurring earthquakes.

Earlier, according to the National Tsunami Center (Pakistan Meteorological Department), these tremors are not a warning sign of a major natural disaster, but rather a natural geological process.
