However, there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage to property. “The quake, measuring 4.9 on the Richter Scale, occurred at 3.45 a.m. and had its epicentre in Assam’s Karimganj district bordering Bangladesh,” a seismologist of the central seismological centre in Meghalaya’s Upper Shillong, said. According to officials, the tremor reportedly lasted for over 8 seconds.
