In a recent seismic event in Tonk, Rajasthan, tremors were felt, causing concern among local residents. Fortunately, no lives were lost as a result of the incident. The earthquake, registering a magnitude of 3.2 on the Richter scale, occurred at precisely 10:33 pm.

Earlier this week, Delhi-NCR and Lucknow experienced substantial tremors at around 4:22 pm on Monday, November 6. Similar seismic activity was also reported in Nepal, where the Himalayan region experienced tremors with a magnitude of 5.6. The National Center for Seismology recorded the earthquake in Nepal at 16:16:40 IST.

Despite the magnitude of the earthquake in Tonk, it pales in comparison to the recent tragedy in Nepal. A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 struck the country, resulting in a devastating loss of life. At least 157 people were killed, and over 150 others sustained injuries. This quake, the most severe since 2015, left a trail of destruction, particularly in the remote mountainous regions, where hundreds of houses were reduced to rubble.

This unfortunate incident marked the second major tremor within a span of three days in Nepal, intensifying concerns about the region's seismic vulnerability.

While Tonk, Rajasthan, experienced tremors, thankfully resulting in no loss of lives, the situation in Nepal serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of seismic activities. The residents of both areas are urged to stay vigilant and prepared for any future seismic events.
