Northeast India Lies in a seismic zone
The northeastern region of India, including Manipur, is in a high-seismic-risk zone, making earthquakes relatively common. Experts have often warned that the region remains vulnerable to moderate and strong tremors due to tectonic activity.
Tuesday’s earthquake once again highlighted the need for preparedness and structural safety in quake-prone states.
People Share Tremor Experience
Several residents posted on social media, saying they felt beds, windows, and walls shake during the early-morning quake. Many were awakened suddenly by the tremors.
Though no serious damage has emerged, fear spread briefly as people stepped outdoors for safety.
Authorities Continue Monitoring
Disaster management teams are expected to continue reviewing reports from districts throughout the day.
Citizens have been advised to stay calm, follow official instructions, and remain alert for possible aftershocks.
