[6] Six three-axis accelerometers that were within 60 km (37 mi) captured the event, including two units that were close to the projection of the fault at the surface.

The mechanism of the event was typical of the thrust system of the Himalayas, with maximum slip (1.5 m (4 ft 11 in)) occurring to the west and southwest of the hypocenter.

[7] Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) conducted a survey of the affected areas between 27 October and 4 November.

Stone masonry homes (that usually supported heavy roofs) fared badly in areas where high intensity shaking occurred.

[3] Jain et al. 1992 stated that the shock was generally moderate while further clarifying the intensities that were observed at specific locations.
