The 12th memorial of the devastating 2005 earthquake, which left nearly 100,000 people killed and hundreds of thousands homeless besides destroying the basic infrastructure, is being observed in Kashmir and adjoining areas today.

The day started with special prayers for the victims of the quake in mosques and at their graves followed by a one minute silence at 8am in remembrance of martyrs of the quake.

The main function of the day will be held at Uppar Ada presided over by Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Masood Khan and participated by acting prime minister Nasar Khan to high light the significance of the day.

The memorial activities were started on Saturday with a walk organised by State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) led by SDMA Secretary Zaheer Quraishi aimed to create awareness among the masses about precautionary measures to meet any catastrophe or disaster.


The walk was participated by a large number of people belonging to civil society, government officials, traders and others holding banners about preparatory measures to deal such situations and renewal of enthusiasm to restart life.

The activity was followed by a candle lightning activity at Noluchi bridge, built after the quake and considered as a symbol of reaffirmation and reconstruction after devastation in the town, to remember the movement and people who left their loved ones during the quake.
