The KSNDMC officers, nevertheless, made it clear that the magnitude and intensities noticed within the earthquakes have been very low and didn’t hurt the area people.
As per the data supplied by the KSNDMC officers, the primary earthquake with a magnitude of 1.9 on the Richter Scale was recorded at 04:22:58 a.m. Its epicentre was 1.7 km north-northeast (NNE) of Waddankera village at Madargaon Gram Panchayat in Humnabad Taluk, Bidar District.
