We are not geologists but what we have read is that a tremor specially if has recurred in a specific area needs serious attention. But in Sri Lanka sn unqualified governor of the Central province has the audacity to guarantee that everything is perfect. Such are the fairy tales we are told by these wretched breed who we call politicians

When a real earthquake occurs, the location and depth is stated in California. However, I must say that we don't seem to have that many in tremors recently, which is worrying to the geologists. Every small earthquake releases built up stress that can cause a big tremor. Sri Lanka being in the middle of the Indian plate can't have a big one.
