The Bangladesh Meteorological Department’s Earthquake Monitoring Centre has issued an early warning of a possible major earthquake following a series of mild tremors that shook Dhaka and surrounding areas within eight hours on Saturday, November 22. The warning came after a 5.7-magnitude quake struck Bangladesh on Friday, leaving experts concerned about the frequency of seismic activity. According to Dr. Mehedi Ahmed Ansari of BUET, Bangladesh has long been at high risk of earthquakes and is divided into three seismic zones, with Zone-1 being the most vulnerable. The Earthquake Monitoring Centre’s acting officer, Rubaiyat Kabir, urged preparedness and vigilance. Global data from Earthquaketracker.com reported 91 quakes worldwide in the past 24 hours and 852 over the last week, underscoring heightened global seismic activity. The local tremors measured between 3.3 and 4.3 magnitudes, with epicenters near Narsingdi’s Palash area, about 29 kilometers northeast of Dhaka.
