Why Delhi sees frequent tremors?
Delhi is not new to experiencing earthquakes. Earlier in February, the national capital region witnessed a 4.0 magnitude earthquake, located at a focal depth of five kilometres at 5:36 am.
The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) has placed Delhi in the Seismic Zone IV in the seismic zoning map of India. This zone is categorized as a “High Damage Risk Zone” and indicates a high potential for earthquakes of moderate to high intensity due to Himalayan earthquakes.
Generally, the earthquakes in the city are of magnitude 5-6. However, an earthquake of magnitude 7-8 is an “occasional” occurrence in Delhi.
Moreover, several fault lines run near the capital region, including the prominent Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault and the Delhi-Hardwar Ridge Fault.
There are other weak zones and faults, including, Moradabad fault, Sohna fault, great boundary fault, Delhi-Sargodha ridge, Yamuna River lineament, Ganga River lineament, according to the National Center for Seismology. The shifts along these faults cause seismic events, triggering mild tremors in Delhi.
Since 1720, only five quakes of magnitude 5.5 to 6.7 have been recorded in Delhi or surrounding areas.

Earthquake tremors in Delhi on Thursday
An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 struck Haryana’s Jhajjhar district on Thursday morning, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). Strong tremors were felt across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and adjoining areas.
According to NCS, the earthquake struck Jhajjar at 9:04 am at a depth of 10 Km.
Earthquake aftershocks
After an earthquake, smaller tremors known as aftershocks are quite common and may continue for several days. These are usually weaker than the main quake. According to experts, aftershocks are actually reassuring in most cases, as they show that the built-up tectonic stress is being released slowly. This reduces the chances of a stronger, more damaging earthquake occurring in the near future.
Delhi citizens on earthquake tremors
