Significantly, tremors of this type of earthquake have occurred quite often in the Indian subcontinent in recent times. Let us inform that earlier last month there was an earthquake in Katra of Jammu and Kashmir, however, this earthquake was not of much intensity. Then this earthquake occurred 84 km east of Katra in Jammu and Kashmir. Its intensity was measured at 3.5. Simultaneously, earthquake tremors were felt in Pahalgam of Jammu and Kashmir. Its intensity was also very less then. According to the Richter scale, it was just 3.2.
At the same time, on February 5, strong tremors of earthquake were felt in Jammu and Kashmir itself, whose intensity was measured much higher than these two encounters. Yes, its intensity was measured at 5.7 on the Richter scale. Then PM Narendra Modi himself spoke to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha on the phone to take stock of the earthquake situation in this Union Territory.
