4.1 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Delhi-NCR
Residents of Delhi-NCR were awakened early this morning by a noticeable earthquake. The tremor, measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale, struck at approximately 5:36 AM IST, creating a moment of concern for many.
Earthquake Centered Near Dhaula Kuan
According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake’s epicenter was located within Delhi itself, near the Dhaula Kuan area. The relatively shallow depth of 5 kilometers likely contributed to the widespread feeling of the tremors across the capital region.
Impact and Aftermath
While a 4.1 magnitude earthquake is considered moderate, the close proximity of the epicenter to populated areas meant the tremors were distinctly felt. At this time, there are no immediate reports of major damage or injuries. Authorities are continuing to assess the situation.
