A 2.5-magnitude earthquake followed by two conse꧒cutive tremors shook Uttarkashi in the early hours of Sunday, a district disaster mamagement official said.
The epicentre of the first quake, which occurred at 12.45 am, was in Siror forest in Bhatwa﷽ri area of the district, the district disaster management officer Devendra𝓰 Patwal said.
The two other tremors followed soon but were too mild to be re🔜corded locally𝔉, he said.
Many residents were awakened by the quake as kitchen utens�༒�ils began falling on the ground and window panes and doors began to rattle, forcing them to run out of their homes in panic, Patwal said.
They spent almost the entireꦏ night outside their homes in fear, he said༒.
However, there wജas no report of any damage to life and property from anywhere in t🌸he district, Patwal said.
