I was sitting alone in my office, Sanjay Place Agra,  before computer. I felt a little head ache. I felt that this might be because of continuous sitting before computer. Meanwhile I heard shouts of men running downstairs.  This was Earth Quake. every one was running.  Today's quake was more fierce than earlier. .

Even today a few hours ago Nepal experienced low intensity tremors. People have to learn from these catastrophes. There is no other option left.

These could be streams of aftershocks as earthquake is the series of such vibrations and Nepal recently experienced two major earthquake, such a tiny nation with massive earthquake could be the serious sense of disaster which hope they would revive their civilization as like before.

That these are the aftershocks of low intensity are very common is mentioned here in the early threads.

Many Nepalese people have been returning to India as on its north, the Nepal and China highway connecting to each other is broken due to second earthquake and it is eminent that they look towards India.

The news about an exodus of Nepalese to safer places has been already reported in the media.

I am reading media and reporting here, as most of these Nepalese people have relatives in India and they are reaching back to India in order to start all over again.

Yes. As  it is Nepalese are used to go anywhere and comfortably settle. Even today there were tremors in Nepal with low intensity. No people died.

It seems it will take time for them settle again. Earthquakes have been so frequent since last month. I think now they need to live with it.

I think the Nepalese have to live with it like Japanese. 

@rambabu yes in Japan earthquakes are so common so they make wooden houses which are easy to build and there is no much damage when they collapse.

In a similar manner, all the places prone to earth quakes should devise a way that keeps the loss of men and material to the minimum.

It is a well known fact about the places which are prone to earthquake and those places need to take precautions measures and certifying authorities on building structures should take stringent measures against large building houses.

It's a well known fact of course. But how far these facts are being implemented? 

It is no where, even in my place which is under earthquake zones, rampant cement structures in terms of hotels and others due to rise of tourist which exploited natural resources to optimum level must have been damaging the ecological balance to a considerable extent.

 

Undoubtedly there is no implementation. There is a gap between cup and lip.

They don't follow the rules and they pay for it. Most of people lose their lives because of collapse of buildings only.

 The cause for Himachal pradesh tragedy is man's negligence. None of the governments are serious in implementing Diasater Management.

 

 

Development brings money and employment, even people also did not support it, nevertheless, it is important to back to basics while creating town planning.

Development and livelihood opportunities can be balanced with proper balancing activities like Tree plantation and Rain harvesting to name a few.
