Earthquake in Kashmir and Call for Inquiry into Tycoon's Death

The earthquake in Jammu and Kashmir serves as a reminder of the region's vulnerability to seismic activity. The National Seismic Hazard Map places the entire Himalayan arc, including Kashmir, in a high-risk seismic zone. The 2005 earthquake, which caused widespread devastation, highlights the potential for future disasters.

In a separate incident, the death of real estate tycoon C J Roy during an income tax search has raised concerns about the conduct of tax officials. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's call for a judicial inquiry reflects the gravity of the situation and the need for transparency and accountability. The allegations of harassment and the circumstances surrounding Roy's death warrant a thorough investigation to ensure that proper procedures were followed and that no misconduct occurred.

It's important to note that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is yet to respond. Further investigation will determine whether the I-T officials were indeed involved in the real estate tycoon's death.

The earthquake had a magnitude of 4.6.

The epicenter was in the Pattan area, 10 km northeast of Gulmarg.

The Kerala CM is calling for an inquiry into the death of C J Roy during an income tax search, citing allegations of harassment and lapses in procedure.
