Northeast is seismically active, we all know that. But seeing these smaller quakes frequently is a bit worrying. Are our building codes in these regions strict enough? Authorities should double-check infrastructure, especially schools and hospitals.

The NCS data sharing on X is quite efficient and transparent. Good to see government agencies using social media effectively for public information. 3.2 at 60km depth - likely just a gentle shake, but awareness is key.

Kamjong and Ukhrul again... This is the second one in a few months. While this was minor, it's a reminder. Do people in these remote areas get proper disaster preparedness training? NDMA should focus more on community drills in the Northeast.

Woke up to the news alert. 5:38 AM means most people were probably asleep. A slightly stronger one could have been dangerous. We need better early warning systems that can reach every mobile phone, even in remote locations.

The article is very factual, which is good. But it would be helpful for the average reader if there was a line explaining what a 3.2 magnitude actually feels like. Is it just detectable, or does it shake furniture? A little context goes a long way.
