The 7.9 earth quake with its epicentre near Kathmandu has resulted in death of more than 800 in Nepal. The districts in W.Bengal, Bihar and U.P., which are near the border had also been affected. Many people are reported dead in these districts, especially in Bihar. Since these are mainly interior villages, full information is not available.
I contacted Circle Secretaries Coms. Animesh Mitra (W.B.), B.P.Singh (Bihar) and R.K.Mishra (UP) and inquired about the causalities and conveyed our sympathy and sorrow in the loss of lives.
