Netizens share videos showing impact of strong tremors in Delhi-NCR

The quake struck with the epicentre in Nepal at a place 148 km east of Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand, the National Centre for Seismology said.

''It was scary as the tremors hit,'' said Shantanu, who resides in a high-rise tower in Noida. Amit Pandey, a Delhi resident, said, ''I was on the fifth floor of one of the blocks at the Civic Centre. I felt a growling noise beneath my feet and a mild shake, when the tremor passed through perhaps.''

Many others in the towering Civic Centre, the headqauters of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, also felt the tremors which hit when the House proceedings were underway. Tremors were felt in parts of Rajasthan's capital city of Jaipur as well. There was no immediate report of loss of life or property from there.
