According to the information provided by the German Research Center for Geosciences, the source of the tremor was at a depth of 10 km. The magnitude was 5 on the Richter scale. No casualty was reported till the last report. No damage was reported.

It should be noted that such tremors are not rare in Tibet. Tremors are felt in this region every year. But this time, since the situation is dire, it is not unusual to increase the fear in the news of such tremors. Although many are breathing a sigh of relief as there was no damage in today's earthquake.

It should be noted that 1204 people have lost their lives so far in the devastation of Trishuli and Votkosi rivers. 4200 people are missing. So far 6541 people have been rescued alive. The administration still does not have a clear account of how many houses, offices, bridges, shops and markets were destroyed in the terrible disaster. The damage is estimated to be several lakhs of rupees. The Balendra Shah government is practically disoriented by such a big disaster in a fragile economy.

Meanwhile, massive landslides have occurred in large areas of West Sikkim under such conditions. Traffic has been stopped in the area. Panic has also spread among tourists. In fact, Sikkim also has the terrible signal of Harappa buns like Nepal! Glaciers are melting fast in the mountains of Bhutan, increasing the number of lakes! A group of environmentalists are also worried about the increase in the amount of water in the glaciers. Sikkim has more than a hundred glacial lakes, large and small. Of those, 16 lakes have been preliminarily identified as extremely vulnerable.
