The strong tremors forced people to scramble out of their homes, offices, and shops.

New Delhi, Date: In a startling incident, strong earthquake tremors were felt across the National Capital Region (NCR), including Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon, leaving residents in a state of shock. This seismic event, which occurred today, evoked memories of past earthquakes and sparked concerns about the region's preparedness for such natural disasters.

According to the National Center for Seismology, earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale struck Nepal at  4.16 pm today. This is the second earthquake in four days after a strong earthquake on Friday rattled nine districts, killing over 150 people and damaging infrastructure.

Earthquake preparedness measures and awareness campaigns have been in place for years, emphasizing the need for residents to be ready for such events.
