The year 2020 is proving to be quite a challenging one. First with the Coronavirus pandemic, Cyclone Amphan, locust attacks, and now, an earthquake. The earthquake of magnitude 4.6 on the Richter scale hit Delhi on Friday evening. The earthquake had an epicenter in Rohtak, Haryana, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS). Celebrities such as Sonam Kapoor, Himansh Kohli, Anubhav Sinha, Meera Chopra, Vivek Oberoi and others took to Twitter as earthquake tremors were felt in Delhi-NCR a little while ago.

Sonam Kapoor wrote, “Earthquake in delhi right now,” while Thappad director Anubhav Sinha tweeted, “Exactly how we ask Fascism??? Is how everyone is asking Earthquake????

According to NCS officials, earthquakes of magnitude less than 5 and higher depth range are not likely to cause huge damage, unless in case of weak structures.
