Severe earthquake rocks Sikkim, 13 killed

The 2011 Sikkim earthquake was a damaging magnitude 6.9 Mw earthquake that occurred in Sikkim, northern India, near the Sikkim-Nepal border at 18:10 IST (12:40 UTC) on Sunday, 18 September 2011. The earthquake was felt across northeastern India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. The quake came just after few days after an earthquake of 4.2 magnitude hit Haryana's Sonipat district, sending tremors in New Delhi.
At least nine people were killed in the earthquake. In Sikkim, four are reported dead, with reports of fatalities in and near Singtam in the East Sikkim district.Several buildings collapsed in Gangtok. Five are reported dead in Nepal, including three killed when a wall of the British Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal collapsed.In Tibet, building collapse was reported in Dinggyê and Gamba.

Geology

The magnitude 6.9 (Mw) earthquake occurred inland at 12:40 UTC on 18 September 2011, at Mangan and Sakyong areas, about 68 km (42 mi) northwest of Gangtok, Sikkim at a shallow depth of 19.7 km (12.2 mi). At its latitude, the continental Indian and Eurasian Plates converge with one another to produce a tectonic boundary beneath the mountainous region of northeast India near the Nepalese border. Although earthquakes occurring along the interface of the boundary are usually of interplate nature, preliminary data suggests the Sikkim earthquake was triggered by shallow strike-slip faulting from an intraplate source. Initial analyses also indicate a complex setup, with the perceived tremor likely being a result of two events occurring close together in time at similar focal depths.

Located at shallow depth beneath the surface, the earthquake caused strong shaking in many areas adjacent to its epicenter. The strongest shaking occurred to the west in Gangtok and further south in Shiliguri, although similar ground motions registering at MM VI (strong) on the Mercalli scale were recorded in many smaller towns across elevated regions. Lighter tremors (MM IV–III) spread southward through populous regions, with these motions reported in the Bihar capital of Patna and as far southwest as Bihar Sharif.In all, the earthquake was felt in Nepal, India, Bhutan, and China. Tremors were felt in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, parts of West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chandigarh and Delhi states of India. In Tibet, the earthquake could be felt in Shigatse and Lhasa.

Aftershocks

Sikkim experienced 3 aftershocks since the earthquake, occurring at magnitudes of 5.7, 5.3, and 4.6 (M_w) within 30 minutes of the mean quake.

India

Four people were reportedly killed in Sikkim, out of which two at Singtham, one at Dikchu in East Sikkim district and another at Mangan. One person was killed in Jalpaiguri district in West Bengal and another in Nalanda district in Bihar.

Nepal

In Kathmandu, three people were killed when a wall at the British Embassy collapsed. Another two people were killed in the western city of Dharan

Associates included in 2015 World Cup!!! Nepal have chance to prove themselves again!!!

World cricket's governing body, ICC has reversed its decision on excluding Associates from the 2015 World Cup, which will now comprise 14 teams including four Associates as it was in the 2011 edition. The decision to reinstate the Associates, which was taken on the third day of the ICC's annual conference in Hong Kong, is a reversal of the ICC's heavily criticised move to restrict the 2015 tournament to the Full Members.

The ICC has, however, reduced the number of teams in the World Twenty20s in 2012 and 2014 from 16 to 12 (ten Full Members and two Associates).

It also spelled out the qualification process it had announced for the 2019 World Cup; there will be ten teams in the tournament, with the top-eight ranked sides gaining automatic entry and the remaining two spots decided by a new qualification competition. Seen through to the logical process there would, for the first time in World Cup history, be the likelihood of a full member nation being eliminated from the competition before its start.

The decision to exclude Associates from the 2015 edition was made shortly after the 2011 World Cup final. It sparked a wave of protests, especially since Ireland, who are the leading Associate team, had performed creditably in the competition, upsetting England and competing in most of their other games.

This news has brought lots of happiness in Nepali team and they are hoping to get entry in the world cup and started preparing for the world cup. The present captain of Nepali cricket team parash Khadka says, “its great news for us” we have to start preparing for the worldcup from now onwards”
