Abstract

A strong earthquake of Mw 6.1 struck Bhutan on September 21, 2009 with casualties of several people. The epicentre of the event was given at latitude 27.34° N and longitude 91.41° E, and depth ~ 10 km (USGS report; http://​earthquake.​usgs.​gov). Shaking from the earthquake was felt in the Bhutan, Tibet and in the adjoining North East region of India including Bangladesh.
