Published January 28, 2002

BHUJ, Jan 27: Bhuj, the epicentre of a devastating earthquake in Indian’s Gujarat state, was revisited by a mild tremor on the first anniversary of the temblor, officials said Sunday.

“The quake was of a very mild intensity of 3.6 on the Richter scale,” said Rajiv Topno, development officer at Bhuj. “It occurred around 9.45 pm yesterday. There was no loss to life and property. In fact, it was so mild that many people are not aware of it.”

He said it was part of the series of aftershocks which continue to rock the region.—AFP
