Over the past few weeks, the earthquake incidents have increased in the region and experts believe that the main reason behind frequent earthquakes is the release of pressure.
An earthquake of 4.2 magnitude jolted the north-central part of Assam on Sunday morning, an official bulletin said. The earthquake's epicentre was located around 105 km north of Guwahati and 48 km west of Tezpur, near the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border.
Local people of Darrang, Tamulpur, Sonitpur, Kamrup and Biswanath districts also experienced earthquake tremors today, Sunday. However, there were no reports of damage or harm to any life from the state due to earthquake today.
The tremors were also felt in some parts of western Arunachal Pradesh as well as eastern Bhutan, reported PTI. There is no immediate report of any injury to anyone or damage to any property. The northeastern region and the Himalayan region fall under seismically active zone. Hence, they experience frequent earthquakes because of tectonic plates movement along a fault line.
