Devastating Earthquakes Rock Nepal and India
Tremors Felt Across the Region, Causing Panic and Damage
India's Largest Earthquake in 48 Years
The earth shook violently in the early hours of Tuesday, sending shockwaves through India and Nepal. The largest earthquake to hit India in 48 years, with a magnitude of 6.2, struck the Mawlaik Sagain region of Myanmar, near the border with India. The tremors were felt as far away as Noida, where residents reported feeling their houses rumble around 10:22 pm on Tuesday night.
Nepal Rocked by Four Tremors
Nepal, located just north of Myanmar, was hit by a series of four earthquakes within a short period. The strongest tremor, measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale, caused widespread panic and damage. Tremors were felt in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and in several other cities.
Aftermath and Relief Efforts
The earthquakes have caused significant damage to buildings and infrastructure in both India and Nepal. Rescuers are working tirelessly to locate and rescue those trapped under the rubble. Emergency services are also providing medical assistance and supplies to those affected.
The full extent of the damage and casualties is still being assessed. However, it is clear that these earthquakes have taken a heavy toll on both human lives and property. In the coming days, relief efforts will focus on providing shelter, food, and medical care to those in need.
