Earthquake in Pakistan and waves up to New Delhi.

I happened to get the updates from my uncle who talked at my home in Haridwar where the shocks were felt for some 10- 12 seconds. It was dangerous but the first thing to comment here is that everyone is safe.
Thank god! A relief to me. More than the earth quake the danger is from the earth quake hit Tihri Dam which if gets some cracks can release millions of kilo litres of water capable of wiping cities between Tihri and New Delhi.

Relevant information on Tehri Dam is in this link.
