Strong tremors shook Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) on Thursday morning, after a 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck Haryana’s Jhajjar at 9:04 am, lasting several seconds.
According to the National Center for Seismology, the quake’s epicentre was in Jhajjar, around 60 kilometres from Delhi. Tremors were felt widely across Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad, as well as Sonipat, Rohtak and Hisar in Haryana.
People took to X to share visuals of the shaking inside homes and neighbourhoods.
The quake follows heavy rainfall that lashed Delhi-NCR on Wednesday, causing waterlogging and traffic snarls after days of humid weather.
Delhi Police confirmed on X that no damage had been reported across the city. “No reports of any damage have been received so far from the earthquake that struck Delhi-NCR this morning. We pray for the well-being of all Delhi residents,” the post, roughly translated from Hindi, read.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) also shared safety advisories on X, outlining precautions before, during, and after an earthquake.
Delhi lies in Zone IV of India’s seismic map, an area prone to moderate earthquakes. The capital often experiences tremors originating from the Himalayas, Afghanistan, and China.
Further updates are awaited.
