According to the District Emergency Operations Center, tremors were also recorded in the Hingoli, Nanded, and Parbhani districts late Wednesday night. The first tremor was felt at 1:37 AM, the second at 2:15 AM, and the third at 2:17 AM.

Need for Vigilance, Not Panic
Since the tremors occurred in the middle of the night, most people were fast asleep. The occurrence of successive tremors caused a brief period of anxiety among the public. The administration noted that the possibility of further tremors occurring before morning cannot be entirely ruled out.
