   New Delhi: A day after facing devastating earthquake,   
   Nepal and northern Indian states on Sunday felt an   
   intense aftershock of 6.9 magnitude with its epicentre 75   
   km east of Kathmandu which may well be taken as yet   
   another tremor of moderate intensity. Though its impact   
   was not like what the region felt on Saturday, it was the   
   most severe of all 35 aftershocks reported in the region   
   in the past over 24 hours.   
      
   The entire region in any case continues to stare at a   
   grim situation not only due to the possibility of few   
   more aftershocks of varied magnitude but also due to   
   prediction of heavy rains and thunderstorms in Nepal,   
   eastern Uttar Pradesh, northern Bihar and sub-Himalayan   
   Sikkim and West Bengal in next 24 to 72 hours which may   
   affect the ongoing relief works.   
      
   Referring to the Sunday's seismic event, Harsh Gupta,   
   president of the Geological Society of India, said, "It   
   was an aftershock. India and Nepal may face many such   
   aftershocks. There had been instances in the past when   
   the country had faced hundreds or even thousands of   
   aftershocks after the main earthquake".
