The tremors were recorded at 7:49 pm, with the epicentre located 10 km northeast of Jhajjar and around 51 km west of Delhi, it said.

People reported feeling the tremors in several districts, including Rohtak, Faridabad, Kurukshetra, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Noida.

 

This was the second earthquake to jolt the region in as many days.

On Thursday morning, a stronger earthquake of magnitude 4.4 struck near Jhajjar, triggering tremors across the capital and adjoining areas.

The back-to-back earthquakes have sparked concern and speculation on social media.

"Another earthquake -- 2 earthquakes in 2 days! What's happening?" a Gurugram resident posted on X.

"Another day, another earthquake. Earthquake jolts Delhi once again -- second tremor this week! What's going on with the tectonic plates? Delhiites are literally shaking...," wrote another user.
