Afghanistan-Pakistan earthquake: Why did people in North India feel strong tremors?

An earthquake of magnitude 6.6 hit Afghanistan on Tuesday with its epicentre in the Hindukush region. According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the epicentre of the earthquake was located at 36.09 degrees north on the latitude and 71.35 degrees east on the longitude with a focal depth of 156 km. If the earthquake originated in Afghanistan, why were tremors felt all the way to North India? A senior seismologist told PTI, the reason why people in India felt the tremors for a relatively longer time is that the "depth of the fault was more than 150 km". People in northern India first felt the primary waves and then were impacted by the secondary waves, the seismologist added.
