An Earthquake Hits Dhaka, Bangladesh on 27 July 2008 at 00:56:09 Hour BDT (+6GMT).
A minor Earthquake of approximate 4.5* (Actually 5.6)** on the Richter scale, struck Bangladesh on Sunday 27 July 2008 at approximate 00:56:09 Hour BDT (+6 GMT). But no damage or casualty was immediately reported. The tremor lasted for approximate 8 seconds. I didn't get the epicenter of this earthquake for lack of equipments.
Meanwhile, an unconfirmed source inform me that Bangladesh Governments Concern Officials are now contacting with nearest Earthquake monitoring station to get the accurate data of this Earthquake. I have informed few news media including BDNews24.Com, Prothom Alo, The Daily Star and more other media.
This is all for now. Will update as soon I receive any information regarding this Earthquake just happened.
