On April 3, 2026, residents of Delhi-NCR and various regions across North India experienced seismic tremors, raising concerns among the populace. The earthquake, recorded at a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale, was centered in the neighboring state of Uttarakhand.

Reports indicate that the tremors were felt in other states including Punjab, Haryana, and parts of Uttar Pradesh. Authorities are currently assessing the impact of the earthquake, although there have been no immediate reports of significant damage or casualties.
