Video: Doctors continue to perform surgery amid earthquake tremors in Kashmir

As strong earthquake tremors were felt across North India, the doctors at a hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district kept their nerve and delivered a baby through lower-segment cesarean section even as strong earthquake tremors shook the Valley on Tuesday.

Anantnag district's Chief Medical Officer took to micro-blogging site Twitter and shared the video of the moment where the doctors were seen performed their job while everything else around them were shaking.

''Emergency LSCS (lower-segment cesarean section) was going on at SDH (Sub District Hospital) Bijbehara, Anantnag, during which strong tremors of earthquake were felt.

''Kudos to staff of SDH Bijbehara who conducted the LSCS smoothly and thank god everything is alright,'' according to a tweet from the the district's chief medical officer.

It may be recalled that an earthquake of 6.8-magnitude struck the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan, shaking the Kashmir Valley so violently that residents in many areas rushed out of their homes in search of safety.

Strong earthquake tremors were also felt across several cities in North India on Tuesday night. People in north India including in Delhi and adjoining areas felt earthquake tremors around 10.17 PM which triggered panic among residents and forced them to flee their homes to safer and open areas.

Besides the Delhi-NCR region, earthquake tremors were also felt in Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan. A resident in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar district said he felt three tremors back to back.
