Residents of Ghodegaon village in Ambegaon Taluka, Pune, were left puzzled and concerned as they experienced an odd and eerie sound similar to earthquake tremors in the early hours of Wednesday. Reports indicate that the unsettling noise was heard at around 4:30 am, followed by two more occurrences throughout the day, sparking worries of a possible earthquake among the local population.
Reacting promptly to the reports, officials from the district administration swiftly visited the village and engaged with the villagers to ascertain the nature of the situation. Sanjay Nagtilak, the Tehsildar of Ambegaon Taluka, was on-site and reported, “Residents shared their experiences of hearing an unusual sound from beneath the earth’s surface. Despite their claims, we verified with the relevant department at the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), and no earthquake activity was recorded in the area.
