Is it a volcano emitting ash, smoke in Kashmir?
Is it a volcano that is emitting ash and smoke ever since the deadliest-ever earthquake struck parts of Pakistan and
This is the topic being discussed and the question being asked by those who have visited Pakistan-administered Kashmir’s
In its bulletin, the TV channel pointed out that ash, smoke and stones had been seen coming down from a hilltop many kilometers away since the quake two weeks back.
The hill has been causing landslides ever since the day of the disaster up to now.
The quake was so intense that portions of roads in many cities and towns fell across other hills and ditches.
Even some people say that they saw many unfortunate people falling into fissures created by the earthquake along roads and streets in Kashmir.
The worst-ever earthquake, measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale, struck the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan and Kashmir on October 8.
It has so far killed over 60,000 people and injured more than 70,000 besides rendering over 3 million homeless.
The death toll and number of injured persons is climbing with each passing day.
A senior officer of the Pakistan Army told the television that it was not a volcano that was emitting ash but a phenomenon that erupted after the occurrence of the tremor.
According to locals, there is nothing strange about the emissions, he added.
But it is significant that this has never surfaced in the media before despite the fact that the local population calls it a normal occurrence.
