NCR earthquake live updates: On Monday morning at approximately 5:36 the capital was jolted by a 4.0 magnitude earthquake, with residents feeling intense shaking; the epicenter was situated close to Durgabai Deshmukh College of Special Education in Dhaula Kuan. Tremors were noted Monday morning, with the National Center for Seismology (NCS) confirming the earthquake's magnitude at 4.0. The earthquake's depth was reported to be five kilometers in New Delhi, according to NCS. The agency recorded the tremors at 5:36 am.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi communicated via X about the shaking felt in Delhi and surrounding areas while emphasizing that authorities remain prepared for any aftershocks. "Tremors have been experienced in Delhi and surrounding regions. I encourage everyone to remain calm and adhere to safety measures while being vigilant for potential aftershocks. Officials are monitoring the situation closely," he stated.

Numerous users on the microblogging site X conveyed their responses, including political figures from both BJP and Congress, who referred to the tremors as "intense."

Delhi Police also used X to provide a contact number for emergencies. "We hope everyone is safe, Delhi! For urgent assistance, please Dial112. Earthquake," their post stated.

An official informed PTI that the epicenter was found near Durgabai Deshmukh College of Special Education in Dhaula Kuan.

This region, which features a nearby lake, has experienced smaller, less intense quakes approximately every two to three years, with a recorded 3.3 magnitude quake in 2015, the official noted.

He added that a loud noise was also heard at the moment of the earthquake.

The vigorous tremors caused many residents in tall buildings across Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad to quickly evacuate outside.

A woman in her 50s, taking a morning stroll in E Block of Noida Sector 20, remarked, "We were walking in the park, so we didn't feel it too much. But it was quite intense. People rushed out."
