A moderate-intensity earthquake, measuring 3.4 on the Richter scale, struck Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi district on Sunday, officials said.

The depth of the earthquake, which struck near Mandi town at 9:18 am, was 5 km, the Met office said.

The epicentre was located at 31.49-degree latitude and 76.94-degree longitude in the Mandi region, it said.

No loss of life and property was reported from any part of the state so far, officials said.

The Mandi district falls under seismic zone 5, which is a high-damage risk zone.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
