A mild earthquake measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale shook parts of Visakhapatnam and Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) district on Tuesday morning, causing brief moments of concern among local residents. According to initial seismic reports, the tremors were felt for a few seconds in areas close to agency and coastal belts.
Residents in Araku, Paderu, Chintapalli, Narsipatnam, and parts of Visakhapatnam’s northern zone reported mild shaking of doors, windows, and household items. No injuries or property damage has been reported so far.
Epicenter and Time of the Earthquake
Preliminary geological assessments indicate that the epicenter was located in a forested region within the ASR district. The depth was shallow, which is why the tremors were felt distinctly in nearby habitations.
Why This Area Is Sensitive
The Eastern Ghats region has multiple geological fault lines, which occasionally trigger low-intensity tremors. Experts note that such quakes are not unusual and typically do not indicate major seismic risk, but repeated tremors should be monitored carefully.
Public Response
Many residents rushed outdoors momentarily, especially in multi-storey buildings. Schools briefly paused morning sessions to ensure safety.
Local authorities have advised citizens to stay alert but not panic, as the situation remains stable.
Safety Guidelines for Residents
Stay calm and avoid sudden running during tremors
Move to an open area if you are indoors
Do not stand near windows, glass or heavy shelves
