Thousands of people in western Nepal’s mountainous region were forced to spend Saturday night under the open sky in the biting cold after a strong earthquake in the area killed 157 people and left a trail of destruction.

Bhawana Pun, who woke up Friday midnight after her house was shaken by the 6.4 magnitude earthquake in the Nalgad Municipality of Jajarkot district, still recalls the terror due to which she could not sleep on Saturday night too.
The whole night she witnessed the vehicular movement on the road and the snoring of her neighbours who were sleeping in the open near her place.
She had no courage to go inside the cracked house as aftershocks were occurring time and again.
“The houses have been severely damaged (because of the earthquake). Thus, people are sitting outside of their houses,” said a local resident from Jajarkot, the epicenter of the earthquake, the most devastating in the country since 2015.
