In the early hours of Sunday, an earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter scale shook the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. The seismic event, which occurred at 6:34 am local time, was reported by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) to have originated at a depth of 33 km.

Fortunately, no casualties or damage to property have been reported thus far, providing a sense of relief to the residents of the affected region. Local authorities and emergency response teams swiftly mobilized to assess the situation and ensure the safety of the community.

The earthquake, though considered relatively mild, caused a brief jolt that startled residents from their morning routines. Several individuals reported feeling the tremors, describing them as moderate vibrations that lasted for a few seconds.

The National Center for Seismology, equipped with a network of seismic monitoring stations, is actively monitoring the situation to gather more data and analyze the earthquake’s characteristics. The aim is to better understand the seismic activity in the region and enhance preparedness measures for potential future events.

The West Kameng district, nestled in the beautiful state of Arunachal Pradesh, is known for its scenic landscapes and rich biodiversity. The area experiences occasional seismic activity due to its proximity to tectonic plate boundaries. The local administration has been proactive in implementing safety protocols and educating residents on earthquake preparedness.
