**Delhi-NCR Shaken by Strong Earthquake Tremors** **November 12, 2023** **New Delhi, India** - A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.6 struck parts of the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) on Tuesday night, triggering panic and sending shock waves across the region. The tremors were felt at 10:17 PM, causing buildings to sway and knocking objects off shelves. According to reports, the epicenter of the earthquake was in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan, around 210 kilometers from the Indian capital. Residents in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, and other NCR cities reported feeling strong shaking and panic. However, there have been no immediate reports of any casualties or major damage. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert, urging people to remain calm and follow safety protocols. Aftershocks are expected, and people are advised to stay away from buildings and other fragile structures. The Delhi-NCR region is prone to earthquakes due to its proximity to the Himalayan fault line.

Authorities are currently assessing the extent of the earthquake's impact and providing assistance to affected areas. Updates on the situation will be provided as they become available.
