Earthquakes of below 2.7 magnitude on the Richter Scale, were reported in two different parts of Karnataka’s Vijayapura district in the last 48 hours, causing panic among people.

The local people are panicking as they have experienced earthquakes five times within a month's span. People also reported loud sounds emanating from the earth and whenever they hear these, they run outside their houses.

Experts say that frequent tremors are occurring due to south Indian plates moving towards north India.

Rhe state government is likely to constitute a subcommittee for an in-depth study.

During the past one week, Vijayapura has been shaken by a quake of magnitude 3.1 and two between 2.0 and 3.0. The biggest quake was reported south of Bijapur city on October 1 and the most recent was reported on October 2 hav ing a magnitude of 2.3.
