"Very strong," one such witness posted on EMSC from Chittagong, which is about 184 km west of the quake's epicentre.
Tremors were felt across states in northeastern India and major cities in Bangladesh, according to EMSC and India's earthquake monitoring agency.
EMSC pegged the temblor's magnitude at 5.8, after having earlier given it a magnitude of 6.0.
