Earlier, on February 17, strong earthquake tremors were felt in Delhi and entire NCR at 5:36 am on Monday. The earthquake tremors were so strong that people who were sleeping woke up and those who were awake panicked. People immediately came out of their homes and took shelter in safe places and stayed outside for some time. The epicenter of the earthquake was New Delhi and its depth was 5 kilometers.

According to seismologists, the surface of our earth is mainly made up of seven large and many small tectonic plates. These plates keep moving continuously and often collide with each other. As a result of this collision, the corners of the plates can bend and they can also break due to excessive pressure. In such a situation, the energy coming out from below finds a way to spread outwards and when this energy comes out from inside the ground, an earthquake occurs.
