Many residents working and living in high-rise buildings in this Kerala city of Kochi on Tuesday afternoon were seen scurrying to safety after experiencing an earthquake that lasted for over a minute.
People at the Kerala State Housing Board's (KSHB) nine-storey building said that the tremors were similar to those experienced on April 25.
"I felt my head spinning. I was here on April 25 also. More or less, it was a similar feeling," said an advocate who was working with the Solar Scam judicial commission office, located at the KSHB building.
