A powerful earthquake hit 7.5 on Friday in the southern part of Mexico. Earthquake strikes buildings in the city of Mexico City, shaking and panic everywhere.

The US Geological Survey said that the epicenter of the earthquake was about 2 kilometers south of the Pineapple in Osaka province on the Pacific coast. The powerful earthquake occurred in the depth of about 43 kilometers deeper than the surface.

Osaka Civil Protection still cannot confirm the casualties, but some buildings have been damaged in the capital.

The movement for a while due to the earthquake almost stopped. But more than five states have issued a warning of a greater earthquake. The authorities ordered their citizens to stay outside for a while.

The earthquake occurred at a time when thousands of people gathered in various places to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

It is to be noted that in September last year, a devastating earthquake measuring 7.1 on the center of the Mexican center killed 228 people and more than 369 people were killed in the entire region.

Can the Mexican government do something about solving this frequent earthquake problem in that region? This is a lifesaving question worth looking into closely.
