A 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck Siwan, Bihar at 8:02 AM IST on February 17, 2025, just hours after a similar tremor shook Delhi-NCR. The National Centre for Seismology reported the quake's epicenter at a depth of 10 km in Siwan district. This seismic event follows the 4.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Delhi-NCR at 5:36 AM, causing residents to evacuate buildings. Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to stay alert for aftershocks. No immediate reports of casualties or significant damage have been reported in either location. The back-to-back quakes have heightened awareness about earthquake preparedness in these regions.
