Early this morning, residents of Tengnoupal, Manipur, India, experienced a seismic event as an earthquake of magnitude 3.2 shook the region. The tremor occurred precisely at 08:45:34 IST, sending ripples of concern throughout the area.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the earthquake’s epicenter was pinpointed at coordinates approximately 24.62 degrees latitude and 94.18 degrees longitude, with a depth of 10 kilometers beneath the earth’s surface.

Manipur, situated in India’s northeast, is no stranger to seismic activity, being located in a seismically active zone. Consequently, residents are accustomed to the occasional tremor, but each event serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of disaster preparedness and community resilience.

Local authorities are closely monitoring the situation and advising residents to stay informed through official channels. Meanwhile, seismic experts continue to study the data collected from this event to better understand the dynamics of the region’s tectonic activity.

As the region gradually returns to normalcy following this morning’s earthquake, the resilience and solidarity of the community shine through, reminding us of the strength and spirit of the people of Manipur in the face of natural adversity.
