Reading Comprehension passages are an integral part of the English section of government exams. However, for beginners, such passages can seem difficult. The Hindu Editorial is an excellent tool to improve the reading and understanding of passages. The language is very similar to the passages that generally appear in the English section of government exams, and each paragraph is filled with exam-relevant vocabulary and real-world topics. First, go through the vocabulary section and read the meanings of the words, their Hindi translations, synonyms, and antonyms. Then read the summary of the passage provided to you. Once you know the meanings of the words, read the passage carefully, and you will feel that it is much easier to understand the main idea and tone of the passage. This method not only improves the understanding of reading comprehension passages but also builds a strong vocabulary base for cloze tests and sentence fillers in the exam. Doing this every day will boost your confidence in the English section and help improve your scores in sections such as Reading Comprehension, Cloze Tests, and Sentence Fillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buried in rubble: On the Afghanistan earthquake <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earthquakes need not be deadly if building codes are followed strictly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afghanistan reeled <\/strong>on Monday (September 1, 2025) in the wake of<\/strong> a strong earthquake and multiple after-shocks, killing over 1,400 people, and injuring at least 3,100. According to the United States Geological Survey, the primary tremor was an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 and had struck <\/strong>near Jalalabad, Nangarhar province. After the first tremor, of magnitude 6.3, at a depth of eight kilometres, another earthquake, of magnitude 4.7, struck around 140 km from the epicentre of the initial <\/strong>tremor. The impact of the disaster is playing out<\/strong> in the Kunar and Nangarhar provinces where rescue efforts are on to find and extricate <\/strong>survivors and locate bodies that are buried under piles of rubble. What makes the salvage operations particularly challenging <\/strong>are the limited <\/strong>resources available to authorities given that the ruling <\/strong>Taliban regime faces multiple sanctions. This has been particularly stark <\/strong>following the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan in 2021. The United Nations and international humanitarian agencies have voiced <\/strong>their condolences <\/strong>and expressed support to aid the wounded and assist with relief operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afghanistan, which abuts <\/strong>the Hindu Kush mountains, and is at the junction <\/strong>of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, lives under<\/strong> the constant threat <\/strong>of an earthquake. Since 1900, there have reportedly <\/strong>been 12 earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 7 in north-east Afghanistan. In October 2023, the western Herat province was devastated by an earthquake of magnitude 6.3, and several aftershocks, which killed more than 1,500 people and damaged or destroyed more than 63,000 homes. Given the vulnerability <\/strong>of the region, it also bears out<\/strong> that earthquakes of this magnitude and epicentre-depth cause much less damage to lives and property in several parts of the world. Delhi, in February 2025, reported a quake of magnitude 4, at a relatively shallow \u2014 and, therefore, potentially <\/strong>more devastating \u2014 depth of five kilometres below the surface. True, a quake of magnitude 6 is roughly 100 times more powerful than a one of magnitude 4 assuming <\/strong>similar depths of origin, but there was no physical damage at all reported anywhere in Delhi. At the other end, Chile is regularly besieged <\/strong>by quakes greater than a magnitude of 6, with all accounts suggesting minimal infrastructural damage and no attributable casualties<\/strong>. This is due to the country\u2019s focused commitment <\/strong>to enforcing <\/strong>building codes. Earthquakes need not be a death sentence and Afghanistan must take decisive <\/strong>steps to strengthen its building codes and work to spread awareness on their enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
