[4] The seismic wave radius travelled over 200 km and shaking was felt in numerous cities, including Imphal, Silchar and Guwahati.

From this it can be deduced that there was an intraplate convergence where a slab subducted beneath another between the Indian and Eurasian plates that caused the Imphal quake.

[8] In Imphal city the damage was restricted to buildings on the riverbank, such as the three women's markets, or on other marshy terrain, such as the Central Agricultural University.

[9] Additionally, some school buildings were damaged and power was initially knocked out in parts of the Senapati and Tamenglong districts.

[1] The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was deployed in Manipur, to clear off debris and locate possible survivors.

[10] The earthquake damage was mainly a result of poorly constructed buildings built with reinforced concrete or masonry, which is reflected in the cracks and breakages of column joints in many structures.

[18] For the city of Imphal and the nearby areas, the National Disaster Management Authority of India (NERMP) and local governments are stepping up on mitigation projects to conduct seismic vulnerability assessment, improve infrastructure with more earthquake resistant buildings and increase general awareness to the public.

[19][20] Additionally, upgrading search and rescue capabilities, early warning and evacuation plans are also being developed to improve earthquake management in the area.
