How should we address mistaken reported statements?

Under 'Significance', it says that 'Director General for the Meteorological Department at Islamabad, Chaudhry Qamaruzaman, cited the earthquake as being amongst the four deadliest earthquakes the South Asian region has seen; the others being the Kashmir earthquake in 2005, Pasni, 1945 Balochistan earthquake, in 1945 and Kangra earthquake in 1905'. I'm not disputing that Qamaruzaman said that, but the 1945 Balochistan earthquake killed significantly fewer people than the 1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake, 1993 Latur earthquake or 2001 Kutch earthquake. Should we note this in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.214.241 (talk) 11:31, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
