Tremors were felt in the north-east for the second consecutive day on Monday morning. At 4.10 am, a quake measuring 5.3 on the Ritcher scale shook Mizoram. The tremors came exactly 12 hours after another earthquake of 5.1 magnitudes hit the state.
The tremor was tracked at a depth of 20 km from the earth’s surface with its epicentre in Mizoram’s Champai district. On June 18, a quake of 5.0 magnitude had rocked the state.
The country has witnessed scores of low to mild intensity earthquakes in the last two months. In the last one week, India recorded as many as 20 earthquakes, according to the data of the National Centre for Seismology.
