Uttarakhand shaken by 4.9-magnitude earthquake, Delhi-NCR feels tremors
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 struck Uttarakhand's Chamoli district on Tuesday night, sending tremors across several parts of the state and Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR). According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake occurred at around 10:24 p.m., with its epicentre located in Chamoli at a depth of around 13 km below the earth's surface. Tremors were reported from several districts across Uttarakhand, including Bageshwar, Pithoragarh, Champawat, Rudraprayag and Chamoli. People in Bhowali, Haldwani, Khatima, Rishikesh, Gopeshwar and Badrinath also reportedly felt the shaking. The tremors were strong enough to be noticed in parts of Delhi and the adjoining NCR. The NCS confirmed the earthquake at around 10:40 p.m. Before the official confirmation, several residents took to social media to ask whether others had experienced the tremors. A resident of Safdarjung in South Delhi reportedly said that they felt their couch move during the earthquake. The epicentre of an earthquake refers to the point on the earth's surface directly above the underground location where seismic energy is released due to movement within the earth's crust. The intensity of shaking generally decreases as seismic waves travel farther from the source, although the impact can vary depending on the depth of the earthquake, local geological conditions and the direction in which the seismic energy travels, officials said. It is also important to distinguish between magnitude and intensity. Magnitude measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake at its source, while intensity describes how strongly the earthquake is felt at a particular location. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake is generally considered moderate and may be felt over a relatively wide area, but the level of shaking and potential damage depends on several local factors, experts said. According to officials, the latest tremors once again highlight the seismic vulnerability of Uttarakhand and the wider Himalayan region, which lies in an earthquake-prone zone due to the ongoing movement of tectonic plates.

Badrinath Dham sets new record with over 18.67 lakh pilgrims; 20 lakh mark in sight
Digital Desk | Chamoli, Oct 5 (IANS) The pilgrimage to Badrinath Dham in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district has set a new record this year, with more than 18.67 lakh devotees having visited the revered shrine of Lord Badri Vishal so far. The number of pilgrims has already surpassed the previous record of 18.39 lakh devotees, which was registered in 2023. The earlier record was broken in the first week of October this year, amid a steady rise in the number of devotees arriving at Badrinath Dham. With the pilgrimage continuing to witness a strong turnout, the number of devotees visiting the shrine is expected to cross the 20 lakh mark this year. Officials and authorities are closely monitoring the situation as the flow of pilgrims continues to increase. On Sunday alone, more than 14,000 devotees reached Badrinath Dham and offered prayers to Lord Badri Vishal. The steady arrival of pilgrims has resulted in increased movement of vehicles and people along the routes leading to the shrine. Earlier, in 2023, a total of 18.39 lakh pilgrims had visited Badrinath Dham, marking the highest-ever footfall at the shrine at that time. However, the figure has now been surpassed in early October this year, setting a fresh record for the pilgrimage. Given the continuing increase in the number of devotees, expectations are high that the Badrinath Yatra will establish another significant milestone this year. If the current pace of pilgrimage continues, the number of visitors could cross the 20 lakh-plus mark. The pilgrimage is being conducted with heightened monitoring and preparedness, with the safety and security of devotees being kept as the top priority. The Disaster Management Department has been placed on round-the-clock alert in Rudraprayag, Chamoli and Uttarkashi districts, which are among the key districts connected with the Char Dham Yatra route. The second phase of the Char Dham Yatra, which witnessed a renewed increase in pilgrim movement after the monsoon season, has seen a particularly sharp rise in the number of devotees travelling towards Badrinath Dham. However, the growing influx of pilgrims is also creating traffic-related challenges at several points along the Badrinath National Highway. Traffic congestion has been reported at multiple locations, causing inconvenience to devotees travelling towards the shrine. Thousands of pilgrims are continuing to arrive in Badrinath to offer prayers at the sacred shrine of Lord Badri Vishal. With the number of vehicles increasing along the route, long queues have been reported at several stretches between Karnaprayag and Badrinath. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation and maintain preparedness along the pilgrimage route as the number of devotees visiting Badrinath Dham continues to rise.

Harish Rawat presses ahead with Uttarakhand yatra despite Congress high command's objections
Despite the Congress high command taking a tough stance, former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat is going ahead with his Jan Samvad Yatra from Jaspur to Haldwani in the Kumaon region on Monday. The yatra is scheduled to begin from Jaspur at 11:30 AM and will pass through Kashipur, Ramnagar and Kaladhungi before reaching Haldwani this evening.

In her October 1 letter, Selja said it had come to the party's attention that Rawat was undertaking a yatra in Uttarakhand and pointed out that the matter had neit...
