The [[Garhwal division]] in northern India, flanked by the [[Tons River]] to the west and the [[Alaknanda River]] to the east, is located at the boundary of the [[Indian Plate|Indian]] and [[Eurasian Plate|Eurasian]] tectonic plates. In the region, the Indian Plate is moving northeastward at a rate of {{convert|5|cm|sp=us}} per year. The Main Central Thrust is the primary northwest-striking structure and dips to the north at 30–40°. The fault plane solutions from the parametric catalogs for the 1991 and [[1999 Chamoli earthquake|1999]] events showed low-angle thrust faulting with varying amounts of strike-slip movement.<ref>Ref</ref> |

A Mw 6.6 earthquake struck 4 km (2.5 mi) west of Shahabad, Rampur District, Uttar Pradesh, India on 21 January 2024, at 00:32 UTC (06:02 local time).[1]
Tectonic setting
The Garhwal division in northern India, flanked by the Tons River to the west and the Alaknanda River to the east, is located at the boundary of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. In the region, the Indian Plate is moving northeastward at a rate of 5 centimeters (2.0 in) per year. The Main Central Thrust is the primary northwest-striking structure and dips to the north at 30–40°. The fault plane solutions from the parametric catalogs for the 1991 and 1999 events showed low-angle thrust faulting with varying amounts of strike-slip movement.[2]
