According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), an earthquake of magnitude 3.7 struck Jhajjar, Haryana, at 7:49 pm.

Residents of Delhi and Gurugram took to social media shortly after the tremors were felt, sharing their experiences of the mild shaking.

A day earlier, on Thursday morning, an earthquake of magnitude 4.4 had jolted the same region. The epicentre was located three kilometres northeast of Jhajjar and 51 kilometres west of Delhi. The tremors, which struck at 9:04 am at a depth of 10 km, were felt across several parts of Delhi-NCR.

In addition to Jhajjar, the Thursday tremors were experienced in Rohtak, Gurugram, Panipat, Hisar, and parts of western Uttar Pradesh including Ghaziabad, Noida, and Meerut.

Earlier this year, on February 17, another earthquake had hit the region. Measuring 4.0 on the Richter scale, it struck at 5:36 am at a depth of 5 km, with its epicentre located 9 km east of New Delhi.

The sudden tremors in February had caused panic among residents, prompting many to rush out of their homes in the early hours.

Delhi falls under Seismic Zone IV, which denotes a “High Damage Risk Zone.” This classification highlights the region’s vulnerability to moderate to severe earthquakes, necessitating preparedness and robust infrastructure to minimise risks.
