Second quake in Delhi in two days

Published December 15, 2005

NEW DELHI: A 5.2 magnitude earthquake shook northern India on Wednesday, a day after residents of New Delhi and other areas in the north were shaken by a 6.7 quake centred in Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan.

The Meteorological Department said the epicentre was in the Chamoli district of the mountain state of Uttaranchal. Scores of houses were damaged in Afghanistan by Tuesday’s early morning earthquake, the biggest since the devastating Oct 8 quake that killed almost 75,000 in Pakistan alone.—Reuters
