TOI explains: Why Delhi and parts of northern India face earthquakes so often

IndiaTimes Monday, 17 February 2025
An earthquake of 6.0 magnitude with a shallow depth of 5 km jolted Delhi-NCR and parts of northern India early Monday morning. Delhi's vulnerability to seismic activity is due to its geological location near the Indian and Eurasian Plates collision zone and local fault systems. Retrofitting older buildings and improving preparedness are essential to mitigate future damage.

India Defies SCO, REFUSES To Condemn Israel’s Iran Strikes Amid Global Chaos And Rising War Fears

India has refused to endorse the SCO's strong condemnation of Israel’s military strikes on Iran, signalling a diplomatic divergence within the Eurasian bloc. While China, Russia, and others denounced Israel’s actions, New Delhi maintained a neutral stance—underscoring its strategic balancing act between Iran and Israel. As India deepens its defence ties with Israel and economic interests with Iran, experts say New Delhi is trying to avoid choosing sides amid Trump’s sanctions, escalating tensions, and looming global instability. #IndiaIsraelRelations #IndiaIranTensions #SCO2025 #IsraelIranConflict #GlobalDiplomacy #IndiaForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #IranIsraelWar #Modi #IsraelStrikesIran #TrumpSanctions #MiddleEastTensions #ChabaharPort #UNVote #StrategicBalance #IranIndiaRelations #IsraelIndiaDefense #USIndiaTrade #GlobalCrisis #NewDelhi ~HT.410~ED.194~
