While speaking to the news agency PTI, National Centre for Seismology Director OP Mishra said that the tremors were felt due to "local effects" as it was not a plate tectonic earthquake. The epicentre ...

There is a difference. It was not a plate tectonic earthquake, it was due to in-situ material heterogeneity, it was due to local effect,” Mr. Mishra said. In-situ material heterogeneity means it ...

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake in Delhi, with an epicenter near Dhaula Kuan, was caused by regional geological variations rather than plate tectonics, according to experts. The shallow depth led to strong ...
