Earthquake in Delhi Be Alert!!

 

High risk areas include Laxmi Nagar, Shahdara, and Mayur Vihar.

Geologists believe that if there is a significant earthquake in Delhi, there may be additional damage to the city. In reality, Shahdara, Mayur Vihar, and Laxmi Nagar are locations adjacent to the Yamuna bank in Delhi. If Delhi experiences an earthquake of this magnitude, there is a considerable likelihood that people will perish in the buildings in these three districts. All three locations are bus stops along the Yamuna.

 

On July 27, 1960, a significant earthquake occurred.

The earthquake, which occurred on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, had Nepal as its epicentre and had a Richter scale magnitude of 6.3. This earthquake was the strongest in Delhi's recorded history, according to scientists. On July 27, 1960, there had been a 5.6 magnitude earthquake that had destroyed a number of structures. China and Pakistan were also affected by the most recent tremors.

There was less damage because there were fewer people.

A significant earthquake of a magnitude of 5.6 struck Delhi on July 27, 1960. Only a small number of Delhi's structures sustained damage as a result of the earthquake. The modest loss was also a result of Delhi's small population.

 

Delhi is likely to see an earthquake of at least magnitude 7 Be alert!

Delhi-NCR is in seismic zone 4, which experiences earthquakes of significant strength. Geologists claim that because the area is in seismic zone 4, an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 8 can also happen. Due to Delhi's dense population, there could be significant economic loss in addition to the fatalities.

Significantly, the severe tremors of the earthquake that occurred at 1.57 am on Tuesday-Wednesday startled residents of all of north India, including Delhi-NCR, who were sound asleep. On the other hand, the National Centre for Psychology estimates that the earthquake occurred 10 km below the surface of the earth. The magnitude of the earthquake was recorded at 6.3 at the same time.

 

In numerous regions of Uttar Pradesh, earthquakes were detected at 8:52 PM on Tuesday, with an intensity of 4.9 on the Richter scale. A 6.3 high speed earthquake that occurred at 1.57 am on Tuesday-Wednesday followed this.

Earthquake: 80% of Delhi's structures are unsafe, and the NCR is unable to sustain a big earthquake.
