Tremors rumble across 5 districts in India, creating widespread panic
Posted on October 29, 2012
October 29, 2012 – INDIA – Panic
spread across several villages in five districts in the state due to
mild tremors on Monday. People ran out of their houses when the earth
shook for a few seconds. Though no casualties were reported from any of
the districts, there was panic in many places in Krishna, Guntur,
Prakasam, Nalgonda, and Khammam. There were reports of tremors even at
Hayathnagar in Rangareddy district around the same time. The earth quake
monitoring centre at Vijayawada termed the incident as ‘very minor’ and
said there was nothing to worry about. “It’s common to experience such
tremors when the rocky layers of earth make adjustments within
themselves,” said RDO S Venkata Rao. According to information, some
houses and structures suffered minor damages due to the tremors in
Nalgonda district. However, officials admitted that it was for the first time that the tremors were felt in so many villages almost simultaneously.
Many of these villages which are closer to the Krishna river bank were
put in the tremor zone long back. Not much damage occurred though these
areas often experienced tremors. In fact, a few villages in Krishna and
Guntur districts experience tremors frequently. Monday’s tremors put
people on the edge because they were felt in several villages. “I was
shocked when I felt the earth moving under my feet,” said Shaik Meera
Hussain of Chandarlapadu village near Nandigama. He said he ran out of
his house shouting that all the family members should come out. Hundreds
of villagers ran out of their houses and spent nearly an hour on the
streets fearing that the tremors might occur again. The quake measuring
3.8 on the Richter scale epicentered 25 km west of Narsaraopet and north
of Vinukonda, according to seismologists of the National Geophysical
Research Institute (NGRI) in Hyderabad. Seismologist D Srinagesh of NGRI
said that as a result of the quake, tremors were felt at several places
within 100-km radius of the epicentre. “There is nothing to worry about
as it cannot be described as a big quake. However, we are monitoring
the situation,” Srinagesh said. –Times of India
