Strong tremors were felt in Delhi and other parts of north India after a magnitude 6.3 earthquake jolted Nepal in the early hours of Wednesday.

The National Center for Seismology said the quake, which had its epicentre at latitude 29.24 and longitude 81.06, occurred at a focal depth of 10 km in Nepal at 1.57 am IST.
