Jashpur: Earthquake tremors created panic in the area in Chhattisgarh’s Jashpur district this morning. People clearly felt the mild earthquake tremors at around 7:31 am. For about 4 to 5 seconds, utensils kept rattling in the houses and doors and windows kept shaking. As soon as the tremors were felt, people came out of their houses as a precaution.
However, there has been no loss of life or damage due to this earthquake. Many people stood outside their houses for a long time as a precaution. No official information has been released by the administration at the moment, but the local people are alert and taking precautions.
Earthquake in Russia
On Wednesday, Russia witnessed the most powerful quake in the Kamchatka Peninsula since 1952, according to the Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences. They added that “the situation was under control” but emphasised the likelihood of aftershocks for up to a month, advising people to stay away from vulnerable coastal areas.
In Russia, waves up to 6 metres flooded parts of the fishing port of Severo-Kurilsk, cutting power and prompting a state of emergency. Only minor injuries have been reported so far. The earthquake also triggered lava flow from Kamchatka’s Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano, the largest in the Northern Hemisphere. Authorities continue to monitor the situation, as aftershocks persist.
