Within 35 hours, second quake jolts Delhi-NCR

Less than 35 hours after Delhi-NCR was jolted by an earthquake, another temblor shook the region on Friday evening. The 3.7 magnitude quake occurred at 7.49pm, prompting people to come out of buildings at a few places. No damage was reported. Both quakes originated in Jhajjar, Haryana, at a depth of 10km. Thursday's temblor struck at 9.04am and had a stronger intensity of 4.4M.

Multiple quakes at the same place within a short span of time are fairly common. On Feb 17, several tremors were felt in the aftermath of a 4 magnitude earthquake with its epicentre in south Delhi's Dhaula Kuan. Between 1993 and 2025, there have been 446 earthquakes within a 50 sq km radius of Dhaula Kuan.
