However, no casualties or damage to property were reported, he said.
“An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2 on the Richter scale hit parts of Bastar and neighbouring Sukma district at around 11.15 am. The epicentre of the quake was 34 km away from Jagdalpur in the southeast direction close to Chhattisgarh-Odisha border,” a meteorologist at Meteorological Centre said.
