A Black Wednesday for Delhi

September 8, 2011 | Filed under: Your Opinion | Posted by:

First the Bomb Blast outside High Court and now this.

A strong tremor lasting several seconds shook Delhi on Wednesday night.

An earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale shook Delhi and its outskirts at 11.30 pm on Wednesday night, the Met department said. There were no reports of damage or injuries.

People in many areas as well as in the neighbouring town of Faridabad in Haryana ran out of their homes as the furniture started shaking with a rattle.

Several television stations reported an earthquake hitting the capital and surrounding areas. No further details were immediately available.

PS : Just got to know : Earthquake – 4.2 and not 6.6 
Epicenter : Sonipat-haryana-delhi border.

  4. Go and ask the family who lost a son, a father, a brother! The LOSS is Irreversible for Them and the Damage is Colossal!
