The epicentre of the latest earthquake was 30 to 40 kilometres north of Muzaffarabad, the same as the major earthquake. Media reports predicting a massive earthquake on November 9 also created panic. Despite repeated clarifications from the Metrological Office that there wasn’t any scientific method to forecast earthquakes, rumours continued to circulate. |
