On Monday morning, Delhi NCR experienced earthquake tremors with a magnitude of 4.0, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS). The earthquake occurred in New Delhi at a depth of 5 kilometers. The rumbling sound heard during the tremors was likely due to the earthquake’s shallow depth, which caused movements in tectonic plates and bursts of energy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the residents to "stay calm and follow the safety precautions". Many people were shaken by the strong tremors and rushed out of their homes in fear. Panic spread across the city as people shared their frightening experiences. The suddenness and strength of the tremors left residents feeling anxious and concerned about their safety.
