Joshimath: Amidst the Joshimath crisis in Uttarakhand, big news is coming from Uttarkashi district, where once again people were in panic due to the tremors of the earthquake.
In fact, earthquake tremors were felt in Uttarkashi district at 2.12 am during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday. Due to the tremors, there is an atmosphere of panic among the people of Uttarkashi district.
According to the information received, the intensity of the earthquake has been recorded 2.9 on the Richter scale, whose center is said to be 10 kilometers inside the earth in Uttarkashi.
Epicenter of earthquake was about 240 km from Joshimath
Even though the epicenter of the earthquake was about 240 km away from Joshimath, people are also worried that the cracks might widen due to the tremors.
Earlier, earthquake tremors were felt in Uttarkashi on December 28 last year. Then the intensity of the earthquake was recorded at 3.1 on the Richter scale.
At the same time, even before this, due to the shaking of the earth in Uttarkashi in the last few months, an atmosphere of panic was created among the people.
The land of Joshimath is rapidly sinking and this is the reason why cracks are appearing from the road to the houses.

ISRO's National Remote Sensing Center has revealed through satellite images that within just 12 days i.e. between December 27 and January 8, Joshimath sank down by 5.4 cm.
