Jaipur, May 12 (IANS): Tremors were felt in most areas of Rajasthan on Tuesday, causing people to rush out of their houses and offices in panic.

However, so far there are no reports of any loss of life or damage to property in the state.

The earthquake was felt most by the people living in high-rise buildings. Small cracks were seen to have developed in some buildings.

"Oh...this time I felt that it lasted longer than the one that we had in April. We all rushed out of our houses," said Rakesh Sharma, who lives on the fifth floor in a high-rise building in C-Scheme area of Jaipur.

"I was sitting on my chair working on a computer. Suddenly my chair started to shake. As soon as I realised it was an earthquake, I rushed out of my office," said Puja Tiwari, an executive working with a private company here.

The desert town of Barmer also felt the shocks, which, however, were mild.

"I did feel things around me shaking, but only for a few seconds," said Vikram Singh, a resident of the border district of Barmer.

People were seen worried and concerned as they started to call up their relatives and friends to enquire about their safety.

"The first thing after I realised that it was an earthquake, I called up my parents and enquired about their safety," said Saurabh Kumar, a manager in a hotel.
