== Earthquake ==
The [[Moment magnitude scale|magnitude]] 5.9 (Mw) earthquake occurred inland at 09:45 local time on 21 November 2011 in [[Myanmar]], which is about 130 km (80 miles) [[east]] of [[Imphal]], [[Manipur]], [[India]]. Mild tremors were felt across parts of [[Assam]], [[Nagaland]] and [[Manipur]], [[Kolkata]] and some areas of [[north Bengal]] parts of [[India]], and also in [[Bangladesh]].

The depth of the epicentre had resulted in lesser loss as compared to when it would be nearer the surface. No casualty or any damage was recorded immediate to the quake. However, in [[Guwahati]], about 300 kilometres from the epicentre, homes were shaken for about 8–10 seconds at 08:46am ([[Indian Standard Time|IST]]), which resulted in people running towards streets.<ref name=cna>{{cite news|title=Quake rattles Myanmar, northeast India|url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/1166712/1/.html|accessdate=21 November 2011|newspaper=[[Channel NewsAsia]]|date=21 November 2011}}</ref>
