Delhi’s Seismic Symphony Awakes City Dwellers
The slumbering metropolis of Delhi sprang into action as the ground beneath its feet danced an unexpected tune. A 4.0 on the Richter scale, the earthquake sent tremors pulsating through North India, awakening residents from their morning reverie.
The epicenter perched beneath Delhi, unleashing its force just 5 kilometers deep. High-rises swayed like willow trees, their occupants fleeing outside as the earth beneath their feet quivered.
A passenger at the sprawling New Delhi railway station, trapped amidst the chaos, described the sensation as “a crashing train or a crumbling bridge.” Fear painted the faces of those who had witnessed the ground beneath them rumble.
In Ghaziabad, a city bordering Delhi, residents spoke of tremors that mimicked a thunderous train rolling past, shaking their homes to their core. Time seemed to slow as the earth beneath their feet trembled.
West Delhi’s Naresh Kumar, a seasoned city dweller, had never experienced an earthquake of such intensity before. He recalled the violent shaking that made him question the stability of his home.
At the same railway station, a vendor named Anish described the panic that ensued as his payment counter began to tremble. Screams pierced through the crowd as the ground beneath their feet danced to a threatening rhythm.
Delhi, a city perched precariously in a seismic zone, had been awakened by the earth’s symphony. The tremors serve as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between humanity and nature’s capricious power.
