Earthquake tremors felt in Delhi-NCR also
Yesterday, strong earthquake tremors were felt in many parts including Delhi-NCR. The intensity of the earthquake was recorded at 3.1 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the earthquake was said to be 13 km away from Faridabad, Haryana. This information was given by the National Center for Seismology. At the same time, the earth has shaken several times in the month of October itself. However, no damage has been reported yet.
Reason for frequent earthquakes in hilly areas
According to media reports, frequent occurrence of earthquakes is not good for the Himalayas. Frequent occurrence of earthquakes shows that movement inside the ground is happening very fast. Frequent occurrence of small earthquakes is an indication that a large amount of energy is being released inside the earth. Such continuous tremors in the Himalayas indicate that a major earthquake can occur in the Himalayan region at any time. Several major earthquakes have been recorded from time to time in the hill state. If we talk about history, after the year 1720, major earthquakes have been recorded several times in the Himalayan region.
