Netizens informed that the earthquake lasted for a shorter time, but its intensity was very high.

"It was for a lesser time, but the intensity was so high. It felt like any train has come with a very high speed," said a passenger awaiting his train at New Delhi railway station.

"Tremors were so strong. I have never felt like this ever before. The entire building was shaking," another resident from Ghaziabad told ANI.

 A resident of Noida, Amit, shared his experience and said, "At 5:35 am, the whole building was shaking... Our entire family ran outside the home. I have never felt such strong tremors from an earthquake. We are all safe."
