He said, “I am a heart patient, so I got more nervous.”
The epicenter of the earthquake was in the lake park area of Dhaula Kuan and some people heard a loud voice due to the land shaking.
Sundar Lal, another resident of Sita Ram Bazaar, initially understood that it is a noise of monkeys on the roof. He said, “At first we felt that there was noise of monkeys on our roof, but then we realized that this earthquake is, so we all ran out.”
