India and Nepal
An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter Scale hit India and Nepal on Tuesday, said National Centre for Seismology.
“Earthquake of Magnitude: 6.2, Occurred on 03-10-2023, 14:51:04 IST, Lat: 29.39 & Long: 81.23, Depth: 5 Km ,Location: Nepal,” the statement read.Â
Earlier, the Solar System Geometry Survey Research Institute (SSGS) issued an alert of an impending earthquake along Pakistan’s Chaman fault line on Oct 3.
The SSGS is a research institution specializing in monitoring celestial body movements in relation to seismic activities. Notably, it accurately forecasted an earthquake in Turkey earlier this year.
According to the research findings, significant seismic activity has been detected beneath the Chaman fault line in Balochistan. Based on the intensity, the earthquake expected in the region in the next two days could potentially reach a magnitude of 6 or higher.
The SSGS has also reported fluctuations in electric charge within the atmosphere near sea level. These fluctuations have been observed in various areas, including Balochistan, marked as purple on the map, which suggests a heightened risk of powerful earthquakes in the coming days.
It’s important to note that these identified areas are approximations, and there is currently no precise method for pinpointing exact locations at risk, as emphasized by SSGS.
The SSGS predicted a devastating earthquake in Turkiye, before it happened.
To provide context, the Chaman fault system in Pakistan is the largest fault line in South Asia, stretching over 900 kilometers. This fault system has a historical record of significant seismic events. It experienced one tragic earthquake that struck Quetta on May 31, 1935, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives.
The Chaman fault line also extends into areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, making it a region of particular concern for seismic activity.
The Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), an organization based in the Netherlands renowned for its seismic predictions, has gained attention by forecasting a major earthquake in Pakistan.
SSGEOS predicts that this seismic event will occur in Pakistan within the next 48 hours.
SSGEOS specializes in monitoring fluctuations of electric charge in the atmosphere near sea level, which they assert can indicate regions where stronger seismic activity might happen, typically within a range of 1 to 9 days. While they acknowledge that the regions they identify as potentially affected are approximations, their insights are valuable for assessing earthquake-prone areas.
