The National Center for Seismology said a moderate-intensity earthquake hit the Jaggar district of Haryana on Monday evening, and tremors were felt in Delhi and adjacent areas.
According to the NCS, a 3.7-magnitude earthquake occurred at a depth of 5 kilometers at 10.36 p.m.
On June 20, a low-magnitude 2.1 earthquake struck the Punjabi Bagh district of the national capital.
Since last year, Delhi-NCR has reported a few earthquakes, most of them less intense.
The NCS deployed additional seismic recording tools to closely monitor seismic activity in and around Delhi after the NCR region experienced a series of tremors from April to August last year.
Based on analysis of satellite images, fingerprints of active faults were observed at various locations such as Wazirabad, Timarpur and Kamla-Nehru-Ridge in Delhi; Jhunjhunu and Alwar district in Rajasthan; Sonipat, Sohna, Gurugram, Rotak, Rwari and Noh districts of Haryana; and Bagpat district in Uttar Pradesh.
The National Capital Region of Delhi and its surrounding areas experienced minor and small scale earthquakes from April to August 2020. The foci of these earthquakes were located in North East Delhi, Rotak, Sunipat, Baghpat, Faridabad and Alwar regions.
