2001 Gujarat earthquake Date January 26, 2001 Magnitude 7.7 Mw[1] Depth 16 kilometres (10 mi) Epicenter Yellow star marks epicentre 23°25′08″N 70°13′55″E / 23.419°N 70.232°E[2] Countries or regions India, Pakistan Max. intensity X (Intense) Casualties 19,727 believed dead, 166,001 injured[3] www.assignmentpoint.com

The 2001 Gujarat earthquake occurred on January 26, 2001, India's 51st Republic Day, at 08:46 AM local time (3:16 UTC) and lasted for over two minutes. The epicentre was about 9 km south-southwest of the village of Chobari in Bhachau Taluka of Kutch District of Gujarat, India. The earthquake reached a magnitude of between 7.6 and 7.7 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum felt intensity of X (Intense) on the Mercalli intensity scale. The quake killed around 20,000 people (including 18 in South eastern Pakistan), injured another 167,000 and destroyed nearly 400,000 homes. www.assignmentpoint.com

This was an intraplate earthquake, one that occurred at a distance from an active plate boundary, so the area was not well prepared. The shock waves spread 700 km. 21 districts were affected and 600,000 people left homeless. www.assignmentpoint.com

www.assignmentpoint.com

Relief poured in from all over the world and over a longer period of time, the affected area was re-equipped with all the basic facilities along with state-of-the-art upgrades. The result being that Bhuj, along with several small towns and villages, is now complete with a better hospital, town and first-aid center. Also, several guidelines and rules were put into place by the Gujarat government for real-estate and construction businesses in foresight of another such event www.assignmentpoint.com
