Magnitude 4 earthquake strikes Assam’s Kamrup district
The Story in Brief
An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 on the Richter scale struck Assam's Kamrup district on Saturday, 14 November 2026, the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said. The quake occurred at 2:43:05 pm IST at a depth of 10 km, with its epicentre at latitude 25.749 N and longitude 91.273 E, the NCS reported on X. Pratidin Time added that tremors were felt in Guwahati and parts of Meghalaya.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from any source. The NCS noted the northeastern region falls in a high seismic zone, making earthquakes frequent. Further details are awaited.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources rely on identical NCS data and report no damage, making the coverage uniform straight reporting. The only difference is Pratidin Time adding that tremors were felt in Guwahati and Meghalaya, while Times of India and ANI keep to the epicentre location. No source criticises or praises the government response, and no source carries political framing. The story is a routine seismic event, and the coverage reflects that.
