The 2015 Nepal earthquake (also referred to as the Himalayan earthquake) occurred at 11:56 NST on 25 April with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.8 or 8.1Ms and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of IX (Violent). Its epicenter was approximately 34 km (21 mi) east-southeast of Lamjung, Nepal, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi).
It was the most powerful disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake.As of 28 April 2015, more than 5,000 people were believed to have died as a result, with casualties reported in Nepal and adjoining areas of India, China, and Bangladesh. Within minutes of the earthquake,[12] the Government of India, via the Indian Armed Forces, initiated Operation Maitri (English: Operation Amity), a massive humanitarian mission with the primary objective of conducting relief and rescue operations in Nepal.[13] The Indian government also evacuated Indian and foreign citizens from Nepal.
The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing at least 18.The death toll surpassed that of the 2014 Mount Everest avalanche, making it the most lethal day on the mountain.It triggered another huge avalanche in Lang tang valley where 250 are missing.[16] Centuries-old buildings were destroyed at UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley, including some at the Kathmandu Durbar Square. Nepal's governement has declared three days of mourning after the quake.

Statutory Declaration :
I do not claim to own any of the contents, save four or five photos, captured by me of this documentation. It's my conscience from the social perspective that forced me to perform this meager work for the disastrous condition of Nepal and most of the parts of India.
