Northeast India in seismic region
Our Northeast India, which also includes Arunachal Pradesh, comes in ‘Sasmic Zone-V’. This means that it is one of the most seismic activity areas in the world. Due to plate tectonics, the Indian plate is constantly colliding with the Eurasian plate, due to which earthquakes continue to occur in the Himalayan region and its surrounding areas. This is the reason that small and big earthquakes often occur in this area.
People often experience light to moderate intensity earthquake here. In the last few years, many earthquakes have been recorded in the Northeast, but most of them are of mild intensity which do not cause major damage. Local administration and residents are ready to deal with such natural disasters.
At the moment, no damage or casualties have been reported after this incident, which is a matter of relief.
