An earthquake of moderate intensity Monday rocked parts of northeast India and Bangladesh, an official said here. No loss of life or damage to property was reported.
An India Meteorological Department official told IANS that the quake, occurring at 9.14 in the morning, measured 4.2 on the Richter scale.
Its epicentre was in western Tripura on the border with Bangladesh.
Met department officials said this is the third quake to rock the same region of northeast India, bordering Bangladesh, since June 3.
According to officials of state disaster management authority, no loss of life or damage to property was reported from anywhere in Tripura and adjoining northeast region of India.
The Geological Survey of India had earlier notified that the northeastern region could experience a devastating earthquake, as the region, according to seismologists, falls in Zone V, the sixth-worst quake-prone belt in the world.
