New Delhi, May 7: The weekend drew to a panic end as an earthquake, measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale, shook the Capital and its neighbouring areas at 9.31 pm on Sunday. The Met department, however, said there was no report of damage to life or property.

According to the Met department, the quake’s epicenter lay in Jhajjar, Haryana. Tremors were mainly felt around Gurgaon, Mehrauli and some parts South Delhi, creating panic among the residents of high-rise buildings in the suburbs.

Terming it a “mild” earthquake, B Lall, the Director-General of Indian Meteorological Department, said: ‘‘These were not life-threatening tremors, so there is nothing to worry. As per our information, no harm has been reported.” Lall ruled out any aftershocks hitting the Capital.

A tremor had jolted parts of the quake-prone Kutch area in Gujarat at 8.25 pm, the Met department said.

‘‘The moment I felt the tremors, I shouted for my family to rush out of the building, but it was all over by the time we reached the door,” said Varun Malhotra, who stays on the sixth floor in Gurgaon’s Sushant Lok Apartments.

But apprehensive of the aftershocks, “we rushed down nevertheless, though we trooped in when nothing happened even after 15 or 20 minutes.”

Some residents of South Delhi, meanwhile, said they could not even feel the tremors. ‘‘I felt something shaking for a moment but wished it away as my imagination,’’ said Vasant Kunj resident Siddhartha.

Gurgaon, incidentally, falls on the fault lines of an earthquake-prone zone. The Capital also comes in the Seismic Zone-IV, which has a fairly high seismicity.

The last earthquake that hit the Capital was on October 8, 2005 — with its epicentre in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, it measured 7.6 on the Richter scale.
