Tsunami alert in A&N, Bengal
A powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit beneath the Indian Ocean off the coast of Indonesia's Java island on Monday.
Following the tsunami, which killed eight persons in the Java island, all the points in the archipelago, mainly the southern tip which is nearer to Indonesia, were alerted, a source in the Andaman and Nicobar administration said.
A meeting of the Disaster Management Committee in the island, which was badly affected in the 2004 tsunami, also put on high alert vulnerable areas like the Indira Point, the southernmost tip of India, islands in the Campbell Bay, Katchal island and the entire Car Nicobar island.
