Pakistan’s National Seismic Mongering Centre (NSMC) has challenges theclaims made by a Dutch scientist regarding a significant tremor inPakistan. This scientist had seemingly accurately pinpointed the timing anddate of the impending quake. The NSMC, however, asserted that while theChaman fault line indeed exists, as evidenced by a past earthquake in 2013,it remains impossible to predict precisely when the next seismic event willtake place.
In response to inquiries regarding the Dutch scientist’s prediction, NSMCauthorities and experts emphasized that although a fault line can be acatalyst for an earthquake, determining the precise time of such an eventremains beyond current capabilities. They highlighted the inaccuracy ofmany predictions from the Solar System Geometry Survey, casting doubt onthe reliability of such forecasts.
Meteorological analysts have urged the public not to be unduly alarmed byrumors circulating on social media. They stressed that changes anddisturbances in tectonic plates can only be speculated upon, making itimpossible to definitively predict when and where an earthquake will occur.
The Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), an organization based in theNetherlands renowned for its seismic predictions, has garnered attentionfor its forecast of a major earthquake in Pakistan. However, the NSMC’srejection of these claims underscores the complexity and unpredictabilityof seismic events, cautioning against placing undue reliance on specificpredictions.

While the existence of the Chaman fault line is acknowledged, the NSMC’sstance underscores the inherent uncertainties in earthquake forecasting,emphasizing the need for continued research and vigilance inearthquake-prone regions. Despite the attention garnered by suchpredictions, the scientific community remains cautious about makingdefinitive claims regarding the precise timing of seismic events.
