On Friday, November 3, a scale 6.4 disaster struck western Nepal, according to Nepal’s National Seismological Centre. Witnesses claimed the earthquake caused nearby homes to crack and structures as far away as New Delhi, India, to tremble.
Suresh Sunar, a city official in Jajarkot, told Reuters over the phone that at least 20 people have been rushed to the hospital with wounds.
” I am by myself in the start.” We are gathering knowledge, but it is challenging to obtain information from far-off places because of the cold and darkness, he told Reuters. ” We have called in the recovery force.”
