When the recent earthquake of magnitude 6.7 struck Nepal, tremors were felt in North India yet again. The epicenter of this earthquake was Kodari, which is around 80 km east of Kathmandu. All vehicular and air traffic has been put on hold by the defense ministry which is assisting with the relief and rescue operations in Nepal.
In northern India, Delhi, Lucknow, Jaipur, Kolkata are hit again. In Bihar, the tremors lasted for several minutes injuring many people.
The base camps at Mount Everest also felt the tremors. Climber Jim Davidson, who is at Camp One at Mt. Everest tweeted,” Just had our biggest aftershock yet here at C1 on Everest. Smaller than the original quake, but glacier shook and avalanches.”
G L Gautam, director of the Indian Meteorological Department said,”More aftershocks will follow. This will continue for weeks. Northern India would not face much of a problem.”
