‘Is it the big one?’ Strong tremors spark late-­night panic in Delhi­-NCR

Strong tremors jolted parts of north India sending shock waves across Delhi-NCR at 10.17pm on Tuesday as an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 struck the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan. The tremors lasting about 30 seconds forced panic-stricken people to rush out of buildings and take refuge in open areas as fears of a “big earthquake” hitting the Indian Himalayan region, as forecast by experts, were revived. There was no immediate report of any loss of life or property.
