Magnitude 3.1 earthquake rattles Delhi-NCR: Tremors felt across region

On Sunday, Delhi-NCR and its surrounding regions experienced strong tremors as an earthquake measuring 3.1 on the Richter scale struck. The epicentre of the earthquake was located just nine kilometers from Faridabad in Haryana, at a depth of 10 kilometers.

This seismic activity occurred shortly after North India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, felt the impact of a powerful 6.2 magnitude earthquake in western Nepal, part of a series of consecutive quakes. The earthquake that hit Faridabad at 4.08pm added to the apprehension of residents in the National Capital Region.

This recent seismic event in Delhi-NCR marks the second episode of tremors in the region within a short span, with the estimated magnitude recorded at 3.1. The National Centre for Seismology reported that the tremor was centered in Haryana's Faridabad, located at a depth of 10 kilometers. This earthquake further highlights the need for vigilance and preparedness for seismic events in the region.
