Mundlamuru, Andhra Pradesh: Mild earthquakes were reported in Prakasam district for the third consecutive day on Monday, triggering panic in Mundlamuru and nearby villages, including Singanapalem, Shankarapuram, and Marella.
The tremors, first felt on Saturday, have continued to shake villages across Mundlamuru and Tallur mandals. While the quakes have been low in magnitude, their frequency has raised concerns about the possibility of stronger seismic events.
