Magnitude 3.4 is quite low, but the depth was only 10 km. That's quite shallow. Good to see NCS providing timely updates. Hope our infrastructure in the Northeast is resilient enough for stronger ones.

The article mentions multiple quakes in Myanmar recently. This whole Himalayan region is seismically active. It's a reminder for all of us to have an emergency kit ready at home.

My cousin is posted in Changlang. She just messaged saying they felt a slight shake but everything is fine. Relieved! The people there are used to such tremors, I guess. Stay safe, everyone.

While the report is factual, I wish there was more context. How frequent are such quakes in Changlang? What is the historical data? Just reporting coordinates feels a bit technical for the common reader.

Good that no one was hurt. But we cannot be complacent. This is a wake-up call to audit building codes, especially in our border states. Prevention is better than cure.
