According to the National Earthquake Monitoring and Research Center (NEMRC), the epicenter of the earthquake was Saipal Mountain in Bajhang district.

Why do earthquakes occur?
The main reason for earthquakes is the movement of tectonic plates. When the edges of these huge plates present in the earth’s crust collide and rub or pass over each other, huge pressure is created. When this pressure exceeds the bearing capacity of the rocks, they break. The stored energy is suddenly released, causing seismic waves and the ground to tremble.
