On April 12, earthquake shocks were felt in Kashmir, which was the center of Pakistan. The intensity of this earthquake on the Richter scale was measured 5.8, which came at a depth of 10 km from the ground.
Why is Kashmir hovering the highest danger of earthquake
Jammu and Kashmir is one of the most possible areas of India, as it falls in the seismic zone-5 which is considered to be the most active earthquake area in the country. The geographical location of the region makes it highly sensitive to earthquakes, as it is near the Himalayan mountain range, where Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collide. Due to the mobility of these plates, tension arises on the Earth’s surface, resulting in earthquakes. According to the National Center for Sisamology (NCS), small-medium intensity earthquakes are often recorded in Jammu and Kashmir, causing this area to be constantly at risk.
Even more big earthquakes can come in future
It is worth noting that in recent years, incidents of earthquakes in Jammu and Kashmir have often come to light, one such earthquake came in Kishtwar district in April 2025 which had 2.4 magnitude. After this, there was a 5.4 magnitude earthquake in Doda. Experts say that the soil and rock structure of the region, as well as the geographical activities of the Himalayas, further increase the possibility of earthquake. However, these earthquakes usually do not cause mass damage, but experts warn that there is a risk of high intensity earthquake in the future. Therefore, special attention is needed in Jammu and Kashmir for the construction of earthquake resistant buildings and preparations for disaster management.
