Earthquake tremors felt in Delhi-NCR on the second day as well

National News: Mild earthquake tremors were felt once again in Delhi-NCR on Thursday morning. This is the second time this week that the ground has shaken in the capital and its surrounding areas. Earlier, on Wednesday morning too, people felt strong tremors, which led many to rush out of their homes in panic.

People expressed concern on social media

As soon as the tremors were felt, many citizens shared their experiences on Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms. People reported that tremors were experienced in various parts of Delhi as well as in Gurugram and Faridabad. Some noted that although the tremors were mild, experiencing them on two consecutive days is a matter of concern.

Areas where tremors were felt

According to preliminary information, tremors were felt in the southern, western, and central parts of Delhi, along with areas in Haryana such as Gurugram, Faridabad, and Sonipat. People from Dwarka, Janakpuri, and Connaught Place also reported light shaking. In Gurugram, residents from sectors near Sohna Road mentioned feeling the tremors early in the morning. Many people shared their experiences online, confirming that it lasted only a few seconds but was clearly noticeable. Some schools in these areas delayed their morning assembly as a precaution. Housing societies informed residents to stay alert but not panic. While no reports of damage to life or property have been received so far, people remained alert and cautious.

Intensity of the earthquake

An official confirmation is awaited regarding the magnitude and epicentre of Thursday’s tremors. The earthquake on Wednesday was recorded at 4.4 magnitude, with its epicentre reported to be in Nepal. Thursday’s tremors felt weaker in comparison but still noticeable in high-rise buildings. Experts suggest that these could be aftershocks or linked to a larger seismic movement in the Himalayan region. The National Center for Seismology is monitoring the situation and is expected to issue a report soon. Scientists say such tremors are not uncommon in this belt due to tectonic activity. However, back-to-back events do raise concern and call for better preparedness. Authorities have advised people to check emergency kits and stay informed through official updates.
