BAJHANG, Nov 13: After the earthquake in Patadewal of Khaptadchanna Rural Municipality-6 on Saturday evening again, Nepal Police has been using loudspeakers urging the local people to stay outside their houses.


The earthquake that occurred last Tuesday at midnight has weakened the houses of the locals and hence they have been asked to stay outdoors as aftershocks continue to hit the area, said Sub-Police Inspector Ram Bahadur Bam of Patadewal Police Station. It is risky to stay inside the same houses after the earthquake on Saturday, he added.
