It is the recent seismic record of Bangladesh. A 3.2 magnitude earthquake hit Kaliganj in Jhenaidah days before the Satkhira shock. A 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Narsingdi on November 21 last year was one of the most significant inland tremors in recent memory. When 32 measurable events occur within 13 months, including multiple tremors above magnitude 4, it signals an active stress regime. On one side are apocalyptic predictions of an imminent “big one.” On the other are reassurances that moderate tremors in low-risk zones are nothing to worry about.
