The exact coordinates of the earthquake were recorded as 24.64° N latitude and 93.83° E longitude.

Local authorities confirmed that there were no casualties or injuries caused by the earthquake. In addition, no significant property damage was reported in the affected area. Residents of Bishnupur and surrounding regions experienced the tremor but reports indicate that it did not lead to panic or widespread concern. No emergency evacuations were necessary, and the region's essential services continued functioning normally.

However, there were no aftershocks reported following the initial tremor. Authorities have emphasized that the earthquake was relatively mild compared to other tremors that have affected the region in the past. The National Center for Seismology has yet to provide any indication of a potential larger earthquake or aftershocks.

As of now, there have been no alerts or warnings issued by the government. The NCS and local authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely.
