Nepal earthquake today: Strong tremors felt across northern India

Earthquake Today: November 4, 2023: A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Nepal on Saturday, sending strong tremors across northern India, including the capital Delhi. The epicenter of the quake was located in Dipayal district in western Nepal, at a depth of 5 kilometers.

People in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Lucknow, and other cities in northern India reported feeling the tremors for several seconds. Many people rushed out of their homes and offices in fear.

There were no immediate reports of any injuries or damage in India, but officials said they were assessing the situation.

Nepal is located in a seismically active region and is prone to earthquakes. In 2015, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal, killing over 8,000 people and injuring over 21,000.

Experts say that the earthquake on Saturday was likely caused by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The collision of these plates is what created the Himalayas and is also responsible for the frequent earthquakes in the region.

The National Centre for Seismology (NCS) in India has warned people to be prepared for aftershocks. The NCS has also issued a list of safety tips in case of an earthquake, including:

Stay calm and do not panic. If you are indoors, drop down under a sturdy table or desk and cover your head and neck with your arms.

If you are outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings and trees.

Do not use elevators.

After the earthquake, check for injuries and damage to your home or workplace.

If you see any damage, do not enter the building until it has been inspected by a qualified professional.

I-T Raids at Congress Leaders’ Houses in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, November 2, 2023: The Income Tax Department (I-T) on Thursday conducted searches at the houses of several Congress leaders in Hyderabad, ahead of the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections. The searches were reportedly carried out in connection with alleged tax evasion and other financial irregularities.

Among the leaders whose houses were searched were Badangpet Mayor and Congress leader Chigirintha Parijatha Narasimha Reddy, and her husband Narasimha Reddy, who is a former MLA. Other Congress leaders whose houses were searched included former MLA Laxma Reddy and his brother, former MLA Vijay Reddy.

The I-T searches sparked strong reactions from the Congress party, which accused the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of political vendetta. Congress Telangana unit President Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the raids were aimed at intimidating the opposition party and preventing it from campaigning effectively in the upcoming elections.

The TRS and the BJP are scared of the Congress and are using the I-T department to target our leaders. But we will not be cowed down by these tactics. We will continue to fight for the people of Telangana and expose the misrule of the TRS government,” Reddy said.

The TRS and the BJP denied the allegations of political vendetta, saying that the I-T searches were carried out based on credible information about tax evasion and other financial irregularities. Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao said that the government had no role in the raids and that the I-T department was an independent agency.

The I-T searches have come at a time when the Congress party is trying to build momentum for its campaign in the Telangana Assembly elections. The elections are scheduled to be held on November 30, 2023.
