An earthquake measuring 4.8 magnitude on the Richter scale jolted
Bangladesh Saturday afternoon at around 6:00 local time (1200 GMT). No
casualties or damage have been reported so far.

Weather Office of the Bangladesh government said the epicenter was about
76 km east of capital Dhaka.

Witnesses said the earthquake were felt three times and many people
rushed out of buildings in panic in the city.

An earthquake measuring 5.6 magnitude on the Richter scale jolted most
parts of Bangladesh on July 27 this year. Some students from Dhaka
University were injured when they jumped out of the windows from their
dormitory.
