On March 21, a significant earthquake measuring 6.5 on the richter scale hit Jammu and Kashmir, triggering widespread panic among the region's residents. The earthquake caused damage to residential structures, including the Inpatient Department building at Pulwama District Hospital, which had been constructed without proper earthquake-resistant engineering measures. 

Unfortunately, this is a recurring problem in Kashmir-located in seismic Zone V, a very high-risk zone. Experts say the valley has faced nearly 100 tremors in the past year, highlighting the need for increased awareness about earthquakes and proper infrastructure construction in the region.
