Fortunately, no injuries or property damage have been reported so far.

This is the second time this week that earthquake tremors were felt in Delhi and adjoining cities of Haryana's Gurugram, Faridabad along with others.

Earlier on Thursday, an earthquake of magnitude 4.4 struck near Jhajjar in Haryana.

Delhi Lies in High Seismic Risk Zone

Delhi's geographic location makes it prone to earthquakes. The Delhi Disaster Management Authority explains that seismic activity in north India is due to the collision between the Indian tectonic plate and the Eurasian plate. This collision causes energy to build up until it's released as an earthquake.

The city lies in Seismic Zone 4, indicating a higher risk of earthquakes. It is near several active fault lines, including the Delhi-Haridwar Ridge and the Sohna Fault. Since 1720, Delhi has experienced at least five earthquakes with magnitudes above 5.5 on the Richter scale.

Earthquakes are not uncommon in this region due to its proximity to active fault lines.
