The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3, the  U.S. Geological Survey  said, adding that there was no risk of a widespread tsunami.

The alternative is for Indian athletes to participate in the Olympics under the IOC banner, if allowed. Suspension also will lead to the Indian Olympic Association getting any IOC funding (it gets about Rs 8 crore in 4 years). The decision to suspend India was taken by the IOC executive board at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland. The IOC said that the IOA had been suspended due to the Indian government's interference in the electoral process. Elections to the IOA were held as a part of the sports code framed by the Indian government which the international sports body had said was wrong. The sanctions were imposed on IOA after the Indian Olympic Association did not comply with the IOC rules on the holding of elections....
