New Delhi, October 15

An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 jolted the Delhi-NCR region on Sunday with its epicentre nine kilometres away from Haryana’s Faridabad and 10 kilometres below the surface.

The quake triggered panic among people.

This came days after several parts of North India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, felt strong tremors after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck western Nepal. It was the strongest among a series of consecutive quakes that struck the country.

A powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake also struck western Afghanistan today, just over a week after strong quakes and aftershocks killed thousands of people and flattened entire villages in the same region.

The quake’s epicentre was about 34 kilometres outside Herat, the provincial capital, and eight kilometres below the surface.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
