A massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit northeastern Afghanistan at 14:09 on October 26, 2015 local time (17:09 Beijing time). The quake was felt in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir where CGGC's Neelum–Jhelum (N-J) Hydropower Project was under construction. No personnel injuris or equipment damages has been reported yet. The construction of CGGC’s another two projects in Pakistan, namely E35 Expressway Project and Karachi Wind Power Project, are also in order.
The N-J Project Management Department immediately launched an emergency plan as soon as the earthquake occured. Managers organized and evacuated staff quickly to the open area, made sure with all of its divisions and partners about where they were, and then reported at the first time to the Head Office of CGGC International in Beijing. After careful confirmation, no personnel injuries had been found and the construction proceeded as usual.
The N–J Project Management Department will inspect the security of the site and resolve all possible risks immediately after the earthquake. The Manager said that they would arrange people to patrol around the clock and report abnormal situations if there's any.
