In a statement, Delhi Police said, “We hope you are all safe. Please come out of your buildings to a safe spot, but do not panic. Do not use elevators. If you need any assistance, dial 112.”
Lucknow, Hapur, and Amroha in Uttar Pradesh were also reported to have felt tremors. As a result of the two earthquakes in Nepal, parts of Uttarakhand also experienced tremors. As well as Chandigarh and Jaipur, tremors were felt across north India, according to news agency PTI.
