A mild earthquake measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale was felt in Meghalaya's West Jaintia Hills around half-an-hour after Thursday midnight, officials said.

The mountainous district also shares a border with Bangladesh.
According to the officials, there has been no immediate report of any casualty of life or damage to property due to the quake.
According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the quake struck at a depth of 5 km from the surface.
Meanwhile, tremors were also felt in western and southern Tripura after another earthquake measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale struck neighbouring Bangladesh after Thursday midnight.

At least one state in the mountainous northeastern region experiences earthquakes every week with most tremors measuring 3 to 4 on the Richter scale.

Seismologists consider the mountainous northeastern region as the sixth most earthquake-prone belt in the world.
