Earthquake overview : After a long 30 minutes of receiving I Have Felt It reports from concerned New Delhi people we could finally report that a magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck close to New Delhi.

Update 21:49 UTC : There are still NO reports of damage or injuries so far.  Although we are not really expecting major damage from the shaking (the shaking lasted only about 10 seconds), we would not be surprised to see houses and buildings with cracks, shattered tiles, etc when daylight arrives in this very populated area with a lot of badly constructed brick houses..  So far however, no signs of any minor damage.

Update 21:48 UTC : Delhi is among thirty important cities in India that fall into high risk seismic zone whileSrinagar is among places at very high risk of earthquakes, the government said.
