"An earthquake of 4.0 intensity on the Richter scale was recorded with its epicentre being 17 km from Rapar town in Kutch district," an official from Gandhinagar-based Institute of Seismological Research (ISR) said.
The quake occurred near Rapar and tremors were also felt in the nearby Bachau town, Kutch District Collector M A Gandhi said, adding that nothing untoward has been reported.
However, as a precautionary measure, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has decided to deploy its two teams, one each at Rapar and Bhachau, Gandhi said.
