Aizawl, July 20 (UNI) A moderate earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter Scale hit parts of Mizoram along the India-Myanmar border on Wednesday, National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said. The NCS data and Mizoram disaster management officials said that the quake struck at a depth of 130 km from the surface of the ground at eastern Mizoram’s Champhai district.
There was no report of loss of life or damage to property in any of the quake-hit areas. Taking to Twitter, the NCS said: “Earthquake of Magnitude: 4.3, Occurred on 20-07-2022, Lat: 23.57 & Long: 94.49, Depth: 130 Km, Location: 119 km E of Champhai, Mizoram.” However, no loss of life or damage to property was reported in that earthquake. Successive earthquakes in the northeastern states, especially Assam, Mizoram, and Manipur, have the authorities worried. Seismologists consider the northeastern region as the sixth most earthquake-prone belt in the world.
