A sudden and intense earthquake struck Delhi-NCR today, sending panic across the capital and neighbouring cities.

Why Was the Earthquake in Delhi-NCR So Strong?
Delhi-NCR falls under Seismic Zone-IV, making it highly vulnerable to earthquakes. The region has experienced several tremors in recent years due to tectonic movements in the Himalayan belt. Experts warn that a major earthquake in the future cannot be ruled out, emphasising the need for better preparedness.
Are Aftershocks Expected?
While no major aftershocks have been reported yet, minor tremors could follow in the next 24-48 hours. Authorities advise residents to stay alert.
