A moderate earthquake measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale struck Chamoli district in Uttarakhand at 10:20 PM on Tuesday, sending noticeable tremors across the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) and adjoining northern belts.
Official confirmation arrived roughly 20 minutes later from the National Center for Seismology (NCS) at 10:40 PM. In the interim, residents across Delhi-NCR flooded social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the jolt, turning their feeds into a blend of real-time check-ins and late-night memes using stills from films and animated series.
No immediate loss of life or property damage has been reported.
