Massive earthquake tremors were felt in many parts of north India,
including Delhi-NCR, Punjab and Haryana on Tuesday.
Initial estimates stated the quake occurred at a Richter Scale of
6.2 with epicenter in Nepal, according to the National Centre for Seismology.
Frank Hoogerbeets, a Dutch researcher who had predicted the
devastating earthquakes that hit Turkiye and Syria earlier this year, posted on
X about the possibility of a quake that could originate near Pakistan. His
tweet came on Monday.
“On September 30, we recorded atmospheric fluctuations that
included parts of and near Pakistan. This is correct. It can be an indicator of
an upcoming stronger tremor (as was the case with Morocco). But we cannot say
with certainty that it will happen,” the scientist, who is renowned for his
earthquake predictions based on celestial alignments, wrote on X.
