Quake leaves cracks in Jaisalmer Fort [1]

JAIPUR: It was a day for open schooling in Jaisalmer after an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3 on the Richter scale shook the desert town early on Thursday morning. The world famous Golden Fort of Jaisalmer developed cracks and so the children of the Government Middle School functioning from the Fort premises were asked to stay away for taking their examinations.
