 A low-intensity tremor has been felt in the national capital epicenter in Pitampura. The NCS said that the earthquake occurred at 11.28 am at a depth of 8 kilometers on Friday with a magnitude of 2.2.

On May 10, a medium-intensity earthquake of magnitude 3.4 hit the area near Wazirpur in northeast Delhi. Wazirpur and its nearby areas were the epicenters of the earthquakes that occurred on April 12 and April 13, of magnitude 3.5 and 2.7, respectively. There are five seismic zones. Delhi falls in the fourth zone. The important matter to be noted is that there is no damage or problem to the civilians.

According to the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, seismicity around Delhi appears to be associated with a major geological structure known as the Delhi-Haridwar Ridge.

The last earthquake that occurred in Delhi before these was in 2004 of magnitude 2.8. Another 3.4 magnitude quake was recorded in the city in 2001, according to official data. The major earthquakes recorded near the national capital were at Bulandshahr (magnitude 6.7) on October 10, 1956, and at Moradabad (magnitude 5.8) on August 15, 1966. Both of them occurred in western Uttar Pradesh.
