The tremors were felt for several seconds and many people rushed out, news agency PTI reported.
Most people were at home due to the lockdown imposed to curb the Coronavirus pandemic.
“I felt my chair shaking and there was a loud rumbling sound. It was really frightening,” S Damle, a resident of East Delhi, told PTI.
The epicentre was located at Latitude 28.7 N and Longitude 77.2 E.
“We were watching TV and suddenly felt the tremors. We ran out of the house. Few of our neighbours had also gathered outside. We greeted them from a distance and returned to the house,” said Arefa Sultana, a resident of Lajpat Nagar 1.
