🧭 Quick Summary – What This Means for Punjab (Including Karimpur)

• No earthquakes of strong magnitude have been detected near Karimpur/Punjab in the immediate past hours or days. Most recent local quakes were minor (magnitudes ~3.1 & ~3.8).
• Strong activity reported elsewhere (e.g., Kolkata/Bengal), not directly in Punjab, reflects broader regional seismic movements.
• India’s northern and eastern regions lie in seismically active zones, so ongoing monitoring continues. Official updates from the National Center for Seismology (NCS) are recommended if you feel tremors.
