The tremors were felt in parts of the region, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage to property.
Further details awaited.
Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface. This causes stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes, which lose energy as they travel to the surface.
Earlier on April 3, an earthquake measuring 2.6 on the Richter scale jolted Solapur district of Maharashtra, as per the National Center for Seismology (NCS).
