Residents of the remote Chipursan Valley in Gojal, Hunza, have been living in a state of fear due to persistent underground tremors, rumbling sounds, and occasional blast-like shocks over the past several months. The vibrations, sometimes strong enough to rattle windows and shake homes, have left the community anxious and sleep-deprived.

Locals report that the sounds occur without warning, at all hours of the day and night, making daily life stressful and leaving many families on edge. “It feels like something is exploding deep under the mountains,” said one resident, describing the impact on mental well-being.

Despite repeated incidents, authorities have not provided an explanation. The uncertainty surrounding the sounds has heightened stress, disrupted sleep, and affected the sense of security in this isolated mountain community.

Local people are calling on the district administration and geological experts to investigate the source of the underground activity. They hope scientific assessments will not only identify the cause but also restore calm and safety to the residents of Chipursan Valley.

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake struck Chipursan Valley near the Pakistan–Afghanistan border late Monday, leaving residents of several villages to spend a freezing night under the open sky.

The tremor, which occurred around 8:58 p.m. on October 13, 2025, had its epicentre near Shehr-e-Sabz and Rash*t at a shallow depth of approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 miles), according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).

The earthquake caused cracks in houses, walls, and ceilings, while smaller structures and boundary walls, including animal shelters, sustained minor damage in villages such as Shehr-e-Sabz, Rash*t, and Zoodkhun. Residents reported experiencing more than a dozen explosion-like sounds and continuous rumbling from beneath the ground that lasted several minutes, describing the event as unusually strong and terrifying.

Local authorities have been notified, but access to the remote valley remains limited due to rugged terrain and distance from major towns. Officials are assessing the situation and monitoring for any potential aftershocks.

Muridke, Punjab: Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protesters, who had been camped at Muridke after authorities stopped their march toward Islamabad, were dispersed on Monday following clashes with law enforcement.

According to Punjab Police, Sheikhupura Factory Area SHO Shehzad Nawaz lost his life during the unrest, along with three TLP members. A passerby was also reported dead, and several individuals on both sides were injured.

Authorities stated that some protesters resorted to violence, leading to a limited police response to restore order. Several vehicles were damaged or set ablaze during the incident, and a number of protesters were detained.

The TLP march began in Lahore on Friday, with plans to reach Islamabad and demonstrate in solidarity with Gaza and Palestine outside the US Embassy. Ahead of the dispersal, roads and motorways around Lahore and Islamabad were closed, while some schools in the capital were dismissed early due to security concerns.

Following the dispersal, partial road access around the Faizabad Interchange was restored, though several routes remain restricted as security forces continue to monitor the situation. Mobile internet in Islamabad remains functional, though users in parts of Rawalpindi have reported slow or intermittent connectivity.
