  • On July 11 at 7:49 PM IST, a magnitude 3.7 earthquake struck 10 km beneath Jhajjar in Haryana, sending mild tremors across Delhi-NCR.
  • A 4.4 magnitude quake hit the same epicentre on July 10 at a similar depth, marking two consecutive days of seismic unrest.
  • Authorities report no injuries or property damage from either tremor in the capital region.
  • Delhi-NCR lies in Seismic Zone IV between the Delhi Haridwar Ridge and Mahendragarh–Dehradun faults, areas prone to moderate to strong earthquakes.
  • Precautionary protocols included temporarily halting metro services during Thursday’s quake, and seismologists are warning of possible aftershocks.
