The officer said there are at least half a dozen individuals which have minor injuries.
The officer said the damages include cracks in certain key buildings. The telecommunication infrastructure is gradually getting normal. There was panic as there was lot of congestion, the officer said.
Authorities had snapped electricity and it also impacted the telecommunication. Now it has been restored. Officials said it will still take some time for the basic services to restore. Even the traffic on the flyover was permitted again to decongest the M A Road and Residency Road in the capital city.
