Earthquakes are becoming a frequent occurrence in India. Today, at 11:51 am an earthquake measuring 2.5 Magnitude on the Richter Scale is recorded 103 km north of Mumbai. As of now, there is not any report of damage or casualty.

While people were resting on Sunday, at 8:13 they felt an earthquake with its epicenter 118km north-north-west of Rajkot.

Monday was no different for the people of Rajkot. It records another earthquake at 12:57 pm. At this time, the epicenter of the earthquake was 82km northwest of Rajkot. While the magnitude of the earthquake was 4.4.

Jammu & Kashmir, the newly formed union territory of India is also under a similar threat. In between Sunday to Tuesday, the region recorded three earthquakes. It is noteworthy that the earthquake on Tuesday, which occurred at 7 pm was having a magnitude of 5.8! While the epicenter of this quake was Tajikistan.

Our entire nation is already going through the COVID crisis. There are huge reasons for us to worry about. At such times, these earthquakes are adding up to our tension.
