On September 18th, 2011 at approximately 6.10pm, the people of Sikkim, Nepal, Bhutan and scattered regions throughout India were shaken from their evening routines by nature’s fury, when an unprecedented 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck the district headquarters of North Sikkim in Mangan.
Though occasional tremors can be felt from time to time in these areas due to the relative youth of the Himalayan range, which continue to grow by about 2 inches every year, a seismic event on this scale has not been experienced by these people of the hills in many generations.
