An earthquake near Haryana’s Jhajjar district triggered significant tremors in Delhi and the surrounding parts of the National Capital Region (NCR). The Richter scale, which measures earthquake magnitude, assessed the quake’s magnitude to be at 4.4. The National Institute of Seismology believes that the earthquake was 10 kilometers deep. When the earthquake struck at 9:04 a.m., fans and other household goods began to shake, forcing inhabitants in many sections of Delhi to leave their homes. As computer systems trembled and several specialists fled their desks, earthquakes were detected in Noida and Gurugram. Tremors were detected in Meerut and Shamli, both in western Uttar Pradesh, around 200 kilometers from the epicenter in Jhajjar.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) issued an advisory at the time of the earthquake. It told people to use the stairs, run outside, and not panic. Additionally, the NDRF advised anyone who was driving at the time of the earthquake to stop in a public place. Delhi experiences earthquakes frequently because of its location. Since Delhi is located in Seismic Zone 4, earthquakes are more likely to occur there.
