According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the epicentre of the earthquake was 43- kilometers north of Ladakh.

Saturday's tremor came days after four earthquakes within three hours brought people in south Delhi rushing out of their homes in the dead of the night.

Experts have described the recent quakes as mild tremors caused by a re-alignment in fault zones.
