Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has recorded 57 low intensity tremors in Karachi since June 1st, a spokesman said on Wednesday. “Intensity of these quakes recorded between 1.5 to 3.8 on the Richter scale, caused by the activity at Landhi Fault Line” according to PMD. “These tremors depict natural release of the tectonic tension in the fault line of the region,” spokesman said. “These earthquakes are the result of the natural tectonic movement with the local fault system,” PMD spokesman said. These quakes don’t point out towards an upcoming major earthquake, PMD stated.
