Mild tremors were felt this afternoon in parts of Delhi and adjoining areas. The earthquake measured 3.4 on Richter Scale, according to officials. There were no immediate reports of any damage to property.
“Intensity was 3.4 on Richter Scale. Epicentre was near Delhi-UP Border,” Met Department Director Seismology, JL Gautam, told NDTV.
The quake occurred at 1.45 pm at a depth of five kilometres, news agency PTI reported.
This is the third earthquake to hit the city with Delhi-UP Border as its epicentre, since the lockdown to control the spread of the novel coronavirus. Two earthquakes – one measuring 2.7 magnitude and the other measuring 3.5 on Richter Scale – had hit the city last month. The epicentre of both these earthquakes were reported in the same region.
