Continuous earthquake tremors: Let us tell you that this is not the first time that people in Haryana have felt earthquake tremors. In the last one year, the land of Haryana has shaken due to earthquake about 7 times. This year on 11 January 2024, earthquake tremors were felt in Haryana including Delhi NCR due to the earthquake in Afghanistan.

At that time, the intensity of the earthquake was measured 3.0 on the Richter scale.
Why does an earthquake occur? Let us tell you that the surface of the earth is made up of tectonic plates. When these plates collide with each other, the energy from beneath the earth finds a way to come out and due to this the earth shakes and people feel the tremors. If the intensity of the earthquake is more than 6 on the Richter scale, then the earthquake can cause a lot of damage.
Haryana in danger zone: There are many districts in Haryana where there is a high risk of earthquakes. These include Faridabad, Rewari, Gurugram, Jhajjar, Sonipat, Panchkula, Rohtak, Panipat, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Yamunanagar.
