Meeri 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Today, after Sehri, I layed down on the soft carpet in the drawing room and I didnt know when I went asleep. At about 8:50am, I woke up when I felt that someone was jolting me. I woke up abruptly and found that I was all alone there but the chandelier and all the vases were swinging. I realized that it could be nothing but an Quake. Yes! it was an earth quake that had shook not only Lahore (where I was present) but in most parts of Pakistan as well as some parts of Bharat. In Lahore, a number of shops had collided in Shah Almi market. The greatest jolts were felt in Islamabad at a Richter scale of 7.6 where 10 storey Margalla Tower, comprising 50-60 flats, collided and fell to the ground. Another incident incurred in Rawal Pindi where a girl expired due to collision of the roof/wall of a girls' High School. In Mirpur, a minaret of a mosque came down alongwith many houses and official buildings while the infrastructure had been greatly disturbed. In Gilgit, the roads had been blocked by the stones that have came down by the quake. The casualty reports are being accumulated from around the country but it's assumed to be a huge loss in different parts. At the time of quake, The NEWS Morning show was broadcasting live from Islamabad. The newscasters were busy in their discussion when the trembling and rattling started. A broadcaster said "May The Mercy of God be upon us! you can see that its a great quake." and the newscasters began to chant "Subhanallah! Allah-u-Akbar!" and evacuated from the station. In the news of 10am on PTV World broadcasting from Islamabad, as soon as the newscaster started the news of the quake, another jolt came by and the whole station started to shake violently. Latest is that the area suffering from great damages is Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir. The aftermaths are expected to be felt during the next 48 hours. This is the report from my side. We pray for the injured party and those who had to suffer the impairment of today's incident. Meeri aka Sameer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
