The world has seen a lot of devastating earthquakes in the past few months, and that is the reason why even mild tremors spark off chaos among the general public. The same hysteria was visible last night when Delhi was hit by a mild earthquake of 3.0 magnitude and some parts of the city felt the earth shake for few seconds, as reported by NDTV.

Okay. No tremors felt at the T3 Airport. Business as usual. Though my timeline indicates it was more than a minor tremor. #Earthquake #Delhi
