Tremors felt in Delhi after 5.6 magnitude quake jolts Nepal

An earthquake measuring 5.6 magnitude struck Nepal on Monday (November 6) afternoon again, its second quake in three days.

Strong tremors were also felt in Delhi and nearby cities following the Nepal quake.

The National Centre for Seismology said the epicentre for the quake was 233 kilometres north of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.

The tremors triggered panic among people, with many in Delhi and the National Capital Region reporting a vigorous shaking of desks and furniture.

Last Friday, a powerful 6.4 earthquake hit Nepal that killed at least 157 people. It was the Himalayan nation’s worst earthquake since 2015. Nepal lies in one of the world's most active tectonic zones which makes it extremely vulnerable to earthquakes._NDTV
