Echoing the heartbeats of the city, Prime Minister Narendra Modi swiftly took to social media, urging citizens to “brace themselves with composure and heed safety protocols.” He assured the public that authorities were monitoring the situation with unwavering vigilance.
The National Centre for Seismology, the nation’s earthquake watchdog, reported that a magnitude 4.0 tremor had struck at 5:36 am, its epicenter nestled near the epicenter of Durgabai Deshmukh College in Dhaula Kuan.
A deafening roar accompanied the quake, shattering the morning tranquility. Delhi Police sprang into action, advising citizens to seek solace in the emergency 112 helpline.
High-rise dwellers in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad felt the tremors coursing through their structures, prompting a hasty exodus into the open air. Atishi, the acting Chief Minister, expressed concern on social media, invoking divine protection for her fellow citizens.
Despite the jolting experience, no reports of injuries or fatalities have surfaced as of yet. The capital remains under the watchful eyes of authorities, ready to respond to any further seismic challenges.
