Earthquake tremors were felt in Delhi-NCR, Chandigarh, Haryana and other parts of northern India on Friday evening after a strong 5.9 quake rocked Afghanistan. The tremors, which lasted a few seconds, occurred at 9:46 pm. The epicentre of the earthquake was near Darawan at 71.01 degrees E and 36.52 degrees N.

A resident of Chandigarh, Mukesh Sharma, who lives in a flat on the second floor said, “I felt a strong jolt which lasted for a few seconds." So far, no reports of any damage to property or loss of lives have surfaced even as relevant authorities stay on vigil and carry out post earthquake drill in the affected regions.
