A 6.8‑magnitude tremor rattled Delhi on March 2, 2026, shaking the city for 30 seconds and injuring 12 people.
The quake's epicenter lay 120 kilometres southwest of the capital, and seismic monitors recorded 27 aftershocks over the next 24 hours.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal—on a live radio broadcast—said the emergency response was swift, noting that the first ambulance reached the scene within 15 minutes.
In the early hours, a 3‑storey residential block in Rohini collapsed, forcing a family of five to seek shelter in a neighbour's courtyard.
The central government will convene a cabinet meeting tomorrow to decide on relief measures and will open a temporary command centre in Delhi.
