Nepal earthquake is a reminder that Uttarakhand is a ticking quake bomb -Tirtho Banerjee

-IndiaToday.in

The Wednesday tremor brings to mind the devastating 2015 Nepal earthquake and makes us ponder over the risks ahead.

Nepal was rocked by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in the wee hours of Wednesday, claiming six lives. Tremors were felt across north India, including Delhi, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Lucknow.

The epicenter of the earthquake was in Nepal, about 90 km east-southeast of Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand, said the National Centre for Seismology (NCS).

At least two earthquakes of 4.9 magnitude and 3.5 magnitude late Tuesday evening were experienced in the region, the NCS data showed. On Sunday, a 4.5 magnitude earthquake hit Uttarakhand with its epicenter 17 km east-southeast of Uttarkashi.

RECALLING 2015 NEPAL QUAKE

The Wednesday quake brings to mind the devastating April 25, 2015 earthquake which struck near the city of Kathmandu in Nepal. The 7.8 magnitude quake, which took place just before afternoon, killed over 9,000 people and thousands were injured. It also triggered deadly avalanches around Mount Everest.
