Mild earthquake tremors felt in Dehradun

New Indian Express  

DEHRADUN: An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale jolted Dehradun on Sunday night. District Disaster Management Officer Rishabh Kumar said that mild earthquake tremors were felt in some areas of the capital city, but the quake's low intensity, caused no damage. "A mild earthquake is a practical reminder for preparedness and to be equipped for the future," Dr. Ajay Pal a retired seismology and earthquake engineering scientist from the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology told TNIE. Uttarakhand falls under the high-seismic zone five, which includes most parts of Rudraprayag district, along with Bageshwar, Pithoragarh, Chamoli, and Uttarkashi districts. Experts attribute the frequent earthquakes in the Himalayan region to the collision of the Indo-European plate, leading to continuous release of energy from beneath the earth's surface.
