Met chief claims earthquakes are occurring in Karachi owing to lack of ground water and illegal pumping by ‘tanker mafia’
Karachi: Karachiites will continue to feel tremors for the next two to three days, but the situation will improve as the intensity of the quakes will reduce, Pakistan Meteorological Department chief said on Wednesday.
PMD Director General Mahr Sahibzad Khan asked the residents of the city to not panic. Parts of Karachi experienced three more tremors on Tuesday morning, as the city has been shaken by 19 mild earthquakes over the past three days.
PMD officials said that the tremors ranged from 2.1 magnitude to 3.6 on the Richter scale. The strongest tremor, measuring 3.6, was recorded on Sunday, while the weakest was of 2.1 magnitude.
The Met chief claimed earthquakes are occurring in Karachi owing to lack of ground water and illegal pumping by the so-called ‘tanker mafia’.
“Karachi has small fault lines in areas of Korangi and Malir that are causing minor earthquakes,” he said, adding that tremors were being felt in the areas close to the fault line.
