Parts of Uttarakhand, including the cities of New Tehri, Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, Pauri, and others, experienced earthquakes in addition to the Delhi-NCR. Some areas of Uttar Pradesh were also affected.
The earthquake’s epicentre was 3 kilometres from Silanga, Nepal, and 10 kilometres deep. India, China, and Nepal among the affected nations, according to Pithoragarh Disaster Management Officer BS Mahar, who spoke to PTI.
