Earlier in the day, an earthquake measuring 3.1 on Richter scale jolted Gujarat's Kutch district. No casualty or damage to property was reported in the mild-intensity quake.
"An earthquake of 3.1 intensity was felt at 12.57 pm with its epicentre at 14 km north north-west of Bhachau in the district," an official at the Gandhinagar-based Institute of Seismological Research said.
A devastating earthquake had shook the Kutch district in January 2001, killing thousands of people and destroying lakhs of homes.
More details are awaited.
