Loud explosion like sounds were heard along with short tremors causing panic in many places in the city on Tuesday morning.

The sudden explosion like sounds were heard at around 9.15 am from different places such as Upparapalli, Erragadda, Langar Houz, Keshavaswamy Nagar, Attapur and areas around Rajendranagar.

Residents of Rajendranagar area were unsure if it was an explosion or earthquake but said they felt the ground tremble for a few seconds. Things inside their houses started moving and windows started shaking causing families, including children, to run out of their houses fearing for their safety.

Officials so far have not given any explanation for the incident. There is no confirmation that an earthquake happened. There is also no proof that there was any underground activity or an accident.

The local police are investigating the incident to find out where the sounds came from and if it was due to illegal blasting of rocks at nearby construction sites, an industrial accident or atmospheric conditions. More details are yet to be ascertained.
