Magnitude 2.7 earthquake hits Delhi

NEW DELHI: A day after strong tremors jolted Delhi and neighbouring cities, an earthquake of magnitude 2.7 struck the capital on Wednesday evening.
The National Centre for Seismology said the quake was recorded at 4.42pm, having an epicentre in West Delhi at a depth of 5km.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage to properties.

Massive earthquake tremors shook parts of north India sending shock waves across Delhi-NCR at 10.17pm on Tuesday as an earthquake of magnitude 6. 6 struck the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan.

The tremors lasting about 30 seconds forced panic-stricken people to rush out of buildings and take refuge in open areas as fears of a “big earthquake” hitting the Indian Himalayan region, as forecast by experts, were revived. There was no immediate report of any loss of life or property.
