An earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale struck Jhajjar district in Haryana on Thursday morning, sending tremors across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and surrounding areas.

According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake occurred at 9:04 am at a depth of 10 kilometres. The coordinates shared by NCS placed the epicentre at 28.63°N latitude and 76.68°E longitude.
