The National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said the tremors were also felt in bordering Bangladesh.

The quake occurred at 5.15 a.m. on Friday morning and at a depth of 35 km from the surface.

After the main temblor, there were two after shocks recorded at 5.53 a.m and 8 a.m.

A disaster management official in Aizawl said the epicentre of the quake is 73 km southeast of Thenzawl in Mizoram's Serchhip district along Myanmar.
