5.0-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Nepal Days After Myanmar Quake, Tremors Jolt Delhi-NCR Region

A 5.0-magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on Friday, rattling the region just days after Myanmar’s deadly tremor. The earthquake, confirmed by the National Center for Seismology, caused tremors that were felt across Delhi-NCR, sparking panic among residents. Though no major damages were reported, the back-to-back seismic activity has raised concerns about increased tectonic stress in the region. With Myanmar and Thailand still reeling from devastation, Friday’s quake adds to a series of tremors shaking South Asia this week.

Pakistan travel ban threat looms as Donald Trump’s administration considers broader restrictions on 41 nations. Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bhutan are among those facing potential US visa suspensions over security concerns. A draft report suggests that Islamabad must address deficiencies within 60 days to avoid partial restrictions. Ten nations, including Iran, North Korea, and Syria, face a full visa suspension. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry dismissed the reports as speculative.

Hindu Terror Victims: Pahalgam Massacre and the Global Silence on Hindu Persecution

The bloodbath in Pahalgam is not an isolated tragedy—it is the latest chapter in a long history of violence against Hindu terror victims. Twenty-six innocent lives, mostly tourists, were killed not for profit or politics—but simply for being Hindu and Indian. The Hindu terror victims of Pahalgam now join the forgotten exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from 1990, the persecuted minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the silenced families across South Asia. Under Prime Minister Modi, India is no longer passive—abrogation of Article 370, Balakot strikes, and upcoming decisive actions mark a new era. This episode examines how India is preparing to respond, why the world looks away, and what it means for the future of Hindu terror victims worldwide. The time for silence is over. #HinduTerrorVictims#PahalgamMassacre #ModiAgainstTerror #NeverForget1990 #JusticeForHindus ~GR.122~PR.282~HT.318~
