SC halts mosque survey orders, restricts lower courts in pending cases
An earthquake measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale struck Ukhrul town in Manipur early Friday morning, as reported by the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). The tremor occurred at around 7:02 am, with the epicenter located in the Ukhrul area, approximately 30 kilometers deep beneath the surface.
The NCS confirmed the details of the earthquake through a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "EQ of M: 3.6, On: 04/10/2024 07:02:23 IST, Lat: 25.04 N, Long: 94.20 E, Depth: 30 Km, Location: Ukhrul, Manipur." Fortunately, no immediate reports of damage or casualties have been recorded.
Ukhrul, located in the northeastern state of Manipur, is part of a region known for frequent seismic activity due to its proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, although the moderate intensity of the earthquake suggests minimal impact.
