Imphal, May 20 A mild intensity earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter Scale hit the mountainous Shirui areas of Manipurs Ukhrul district late on Saturday evening, the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said.

The NCS said that the tremor was felt in the hilly areas in Ukhrul district, which shares border with Myanmar.

The quake, which struck at a depth of 31 km from the surface, caused panic among the residents who rushed out of their homes.

There was no immediate report of any casualty or damage to property.

Successive earthquakes in the mountainous northeastern states, especially in Assam, Mizoram and Manipur, have kept the authorities worried, forcing them to build quake-protective structures.
