Dhaka shakes again as a mild earthquake strikes Narsingdi

A mild earthquake jolted Dhaka and surrounding areas early Thursday (December 04), according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).

BMD reported that the 4.1-magnitude quake was recorded at around 6:14am, with its epicentre in Shibpur upazila of Narsingdi — approximately 38 kilometres northeast of the BMD Seismic Observatory and Research Centre in Agargaon. No casualties have been reported so far.

The Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre stated that the epicentre was located 33 kilometres east-northeast of Tongi and three kilometres north of Narsingdi, at a depth of about 30 kilometres.

On November 21, a stronger 5.7-magnitude earthquake originating from Narsingdi had shaken Dhaka and several other regions, leaving casualties and structural impacts in its wake. Since then, several minor tremors have been recorded across the country, most with epicentres in the Narsingdi region.
