Chandigarh-Dehradun Earthquake- "Felt Reports"
March 05, 2012 earthquake in Haryana - Delhi Region, India (Today)

UPDATE
-Media reports of some houses developing cracks in Barkot area, place near to epicenter. Barkot is a town and a nagar panchayat in Uttarkashi District in the state of Uttarakhand, India. Luckily it is least populated area. NO MAJOR DAMAGE REPORTED
 -The people of Chandigarh reacted immediately after the tremor. Flood of "Felt Reports" (below) also proves it. People in Yamuna Valley area of Uttarakhand were much panicked
-Felt even in Capital city, Delhi (light to weak). Remember Delhi is among thirty important cities in the country that fall into high risk seismic zone while Srinagar is on top.

UPDATE February 10, 00:23 UTC 
No detail report obtained. Don't know why the medias aren't reporting about this quake? Now its morning and hope people will themselves report about their experiences regarding this earthquake in North India
Don't expect any major damage but may have certainly caused minor to light damage around epicenter area. Since the people from Chandigarh and Deharadun are mentioning of experiencing moderate shaking (but expect light), CERTAIN DAMAGE MUST BE AROUND EPICENTER AREA

UPDATE
The epicenter is near to Yamnotari, South of Govinda Pashu National park

UPDATE
NO DAMAGE REPORT

UPDATE
Again the rumor has spread of earthquake of M 6.8 felt in North India. It was in the earlier case too, when it was felt in Capital New Delhi and One in Nepal/Sikkim border BUT M 6.8 earthquake at such depth is quite dangerous, Personally DON'T EXPECT EARTHQUAKE WITH SUCH LARGE MAGNITUDE

UPDATE 
Saddique Shaleen send "Felt Reports" to "Disaster Report" immediatelt after the quake from Mohali, North India mentioning as, "Earthquake of moderate shaking felt In Chandigarh"

UPDATE
It will have well felt in North India. The intensity is enough to get felt as far as capital New Delhi. Since the time is midnight, most people will crawl the sites/blog in the morning BUT it makes people awake around epicenter

UPDATE
Indian seismological center mentions M 5.0 @ 10 km depth in Uttarkashi District, Uttarakhand. It mentions intensity as MODERATE. It means there is less chance of any major damage
