“Minor EarthQuake Strikes Dhubri, Assam: Magnitude 3.1 Earthquake Jolts the Region on October 1, 2023”

(JKNN) : On the morning of October 1, 2023, at 03:01:33 IST, the region of Dhubri in Assam, India, experienced a notable earthquake with a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale.

This seismic event, though relatively mild, was significant enough to capture the attention of residents and local authorities.

The earthquake’s epicenter was pinpointed at coordinates Lat: 26.08 and Long: 90.05, and it occurred at a depth of 17 kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface. While a magnitude 3.1 earthquake is generally considered minor and may not have caused widespread damage, it can still serve as a reminder of the seismic activity that can affect this region.

Earthquakes are not uncommon in the Indian subcontinent due to its location along the boundary of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. Assam, in particular, is situated in a seismically active zone, making it susceptible to occasional tremors and quakes.

In such situations, it’s crucial for local authorities and the public to remain vigilant and prepared. While this earthquake may not have resulted in significant damage or casualties, it serves as a reminder of the need for earthquake awareness and preparedness in areas prone to seismic activity. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about safety measures and consider downloading the BhooKamp App or using other reliable sources to receive real-time updates and guidance during such events.
