The seismic shock was felt as far as Delhi\u2011NCR and Jammu\u2011Kashmir, sending residents scrambling from offices and homes.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happened<\/h2>\n<p>The quake, recorded by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), occurred at a depth of about 30\u202fkm. Its epicentre lay roughly 200\u202fkm southeast of Kabul, in a region that sits on the boundary of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Magnitude: 6.2 (Richter scale)<\/li>\n<li>Depth: 30\u202fkm<\/li>\n<li>Epicentre: Near the Afghanistan\u2011Pakistan border, 200\u202fkm southeast of Kabul<\/li>\n<li>Time of event: 03:45\u202fUTC (10:15\u202fIST)<\/li>\n<li>Regions affected: Delhi\u2011NCR, Jammu\u2011Kashmir, and parts of Punjab and Haryana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why It Matters<\/h2>\n<p>India sits on a complex network of fault lines, and even moderate quakes can trigger widespread anxiety. The tremor prompted:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Immediate evacuation of office buildings in Delhi\u2011NCR, with people fleeing to open spaces.<\/li>\n<li>Temporary suspension of flights at Delhi\u2019s Indira Gandhi International Airport.<\/li>\n<li>Increased calls to emergency services in Jammu\u2011Kashmir, where residents reported minor structural damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Such events highlight the need for robust seismic preparedness, especially in densely populated urban centres.<\/p>\n<h2>Source View<\/h2>\n<p>Multiple news outlets, including Dainik\u202fBhaskar, AajTak, ABP\u202fNews, Live\u202fHindustan, and Jagran, reported on the quake\u2019s impact across northern India. All accounts confirm the 6.2\u2011magnitude figure and the widespread sense of shaking.<\/p>\n<h2>Context<\/h2>\n<p>India has experienced several significant earthquakes in recent years, most notably the 2001 Gujarat quake and the 2015 Nepal earthquake. The current event underscores the persistent seismic risk along the Himalayan belt and the adjoining Indo\u2011Pakistani border.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Watch Next<\/h2>\n<p>Authorities are monitoring for aftershocks, which are common following a quake of this magnitude. Residents in affected areas are advised to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check for structural damage before re\u2011entering buildings.<\/li>\n<li>Stay away from damaged walls, ceilings, and electrical installations.<\/li>\n<li>Follow official guidance from local disaster management authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, seismic monitoring agencies will continue to publish updates on any subsequent tremors.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 6.2\u2011magnitude quake in Afghanistan rattled parts of northern India, causing panic in Delhi\u2011NCR and Jammu\u2011Kashmir as buildings trembled and people fled offices.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":2025,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ai_generated_summary":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[213],"tags":[3894,1619,1755,75,3892,3896],"class_list":["post-1825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-en","tag-afghanistan","tag-delhi","tag-earthquake","tag-india","tag-jammu-kashmir","tag-seismic-activity"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newzquest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/newzquest-newsfactory\/nqnf-1825.png?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2444,"url":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/magnitude-6-2-quake-hits-afghanistan-tremors-felt-across-northern-india-more-than-8-countr\/","url_meta":{"origin":1825,"position":0},"title":"Magnitude 6.2 quake hits Afghanistan, tremors felt across Northern India: More than 8 countr&#8230;","author":"Arjun Mehta","date":"\u091c\u0942\u0928 29, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Magnitude 6.2 quake hits Afghanistan, tremors felt across Northern India: More than 8 countries affected; p...","rel":"","context":"In &quot;World&quot;","block_context":{"text":"World","link":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/category\/world-en\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":2740,"url":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/nearly-half-of-cardiac-tests-in-men-over-30-show-abnormalities-study-finds\/","url_meta":{"origin":1825,"position":1},"title":"Nearly Half of Cardiac Tests in Men Over 30 Show Abnormalities, Study Finds","author":"Arjun Mehta","date":"\u091c\u0942\u0928 30, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"A Mahajan Imaging & Labs analysis of cardiac tests in Delhi\u2011NCR men aged 30 and above reveals that 48% show abnormalities, highlighting the silent risk of heart disease in this group.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Health&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Health","link":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/category\/health-news-en\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newzquest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/newzquest-newsfactory\/nqnf-ai-2740.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newzquest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/newzquest-newsfactory\/nqnf-ai-2740.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newzquest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/newzquest-newsfactory\/nqnf-ai-2740.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newzquest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/newzquest-newsfactory\/nqnf-ai-2740.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":6330,"url":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/%e0%a4%87%e0%a4%b8%e0%a5%87-%e0%a4%ad%e0%a5%80-%e0%a4%aa%e0%a4%a2%e0%a4%bc%e0%a5%87%e0%a4%82%e0%a4%aa%e0%a5%81%e0%a4%b0%e0%a5%80-%e0%a4%a8%e0%a4%b9%e0%a5%80%e0%a4%82-%e0%a4%9c%e0%a4%be-%e0%a4%aa\/","url_meta":{"origin":1825,"position":2},"title":"\u0907\u0938\u0947 \u092d\u0940 \u092a\u0922\u093c\u0947\u0902:\u092a\u0941\u0930\u0940 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u091c\u093e \u092a\u093e \u0930\u0939\u0947?
