A mild earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale struck near Jhajjar in Haryana on Thursday morning, causing panic across the Delhi-NCR region.

Epicentre and Timing

According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake occurred at 9:04 AM, with its epicentre located 3 km northeast of Jhajjar and approximately 51 km west of Delhi. The quake originated at a depth of 10 km, making it shallow enough to be strongly felt across nearby areas.

Tremors Across Northern India

Tremors were reported from multiple locations including:

  • Rohtak
  • Gurugram
  • Panipat
  • Hisar
  • Meerut
  • Several parts of Delhi

Residents across the region felt the ground shake, prompting many to rush out of their homes in fear.

Eyewitness Reactions

In Jhajjar, a local elderly resident described the experience as intense:

“It was a strong jolt. I don’t remember feeling such a strong quake before in my life.”

In Delhi, the quake triggered alarm in residential neighborhoods. People ran outside — many in their nightwear and without shoes — as fear spread quickly.

Sultan Khan, a resident of Vikaspuri, said:

“The ground suddenly shook, and we rushed outside. At first, we didn’t realize it was an earthquake. With the heat, last night’s rain, and now this – it’s just been overwhelming.”

Ahmad Ali, another resident, shared a similar sentiment:

“It was frightening. The tremors were short but powerful enough to wake us up. My children are still shaken.”

Many families stayed outdoors for a while, concerned about the possibility of aftershocks.
