Over 6,000 bodies have so far been pulled out from under mounds of debris and rubble left by razed homes and buildings, Nepal's Deputy Prime Minister Bam Dev Gautam was quoted as saying by PTI.

People in relief camps protested against Nepal Prime Minister Sushil Koirala for not getting enough aid. Meanwhile, Koirala told them that he had come to see for himself the difficult situation Nepal is facing and assured them that help would reach them at the earliest.
