Western Nepal at high risk as experts warn of major quake at any time

Kathmandu, Jan. 7: Over the past 22 days from mid-December, 2024 to first week of January, 2025, a total of 10 earthquakes with magnitudes of 4 or above on the Richter scale have been recorded across Nepal, predominantly in the Western region, with one or two detected in the east.

Seismologists warn that this may be an indication of Western Nepal’s probability to become the epicentre of a major earthquake at any time.
