Amid a flurry of rumors circulating on social media, suggesting a strong earthquake looming over Pakistan in the next 48 hours, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has unequivocally denied these reports, citing the inherent unpredictability of seismic events.
Social media posts had referenced the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS) and a Dutch scientist, Frank Hoogerbeets, claiming that heightened electrical activity along the fault lines in Balochistan’s Chaman region could potentially lead to a powerful earthquake in Pakistan.

The PMD, however, has emphasized that forecasting earthquakes with pinpoint accuracy remains an exceedingly challenging task. While seismic activity can be monitored, accurately predicting when and where an earthquake will occur is beyond current scientific capabilities.
The public is urged to rely on credible sources for information related to potential natural disasters and to refrain from spreading unverified claims. The PMD remains vigilant in monitoring seismic activity and will issue timely alerts and information should any significant developments occur.
