 I think this is a different quake than the one cited by Fred, but not sure. | SRINAGAR — Even before memories of the monster earthquake in October could die down, Jammu and Kashmir was rattled by powerful fresh tremors in the wee hours yesterday damaging a number of houses. There were no immediate reports of human loss in the quake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale.
The temblor had its epicentre in the Hindukush mountain ranges of Aghanistan and was also felt in Pakistan. In Jammu and Kashmir, it was felt in several areas including Uri, Poonch, Srinagar. Parts of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir also experienced the jolt. The tremors were also felt in the national capital and its adjoining areas. |
