People Advised To Remain Calm


The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) also issued an advisory after the earthquake, asking people to remain calm and step outside as soon as the tremors stop. They also advised people to stay prepared with emergency kits for such situations, along with many other dos and don’ts.

It is important to note that earthquakes are not unusual in Delhi, which lies in Seismic Zone 4, a zone with a higher risk of earthquakes. The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) states that the national capital lies close to several active fault lines. These include the Delhi-Haridwar Ridge, the Sohna Fault, the Delhi-Moradabad Fault and the Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault. According to NDTV, since 1720, the city has witnessed at least five earthquakes above 5.5 magnitude on the Richter scale.
