Guwahati: While an earthquake of 3.8 magnitude hit Arunachal Pradesh on Sunday, Manipur was shaken by one of 3.6 magnitude on Monday.
A report by the National Center for Seismology stated that the epicentre of the earthquake in Arunachal Pradesh, recorded at 12:12 pm on Sunday, lay in West Kameng district at a depth of 10 km. Meanwhile, the latest earthquake to strike Manipur on Monday was recorded at 5:49 pm with its epicenter in Tamenglong, again at a depth of 10 km.
Meanwhile, experts have said that micro tremors have been helping release tectonic stress and protecting India from a devastating event, adding that India was well-prepared to deal with the fallout of large-scale earthquakes as it has a dedicated, well-equipped and trained force in the form of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).
