The survivors of the April 25 earthquake, who were displaced and living in temporary shelters, are returning to their quake-damaged houses to protect themselves from cold since onset of winter.

Most of the people living in temporary shelters in the quake affected district these days are the ones whose houses were reduced to rubble in the earthquake.

Many earthquake-displaced are now living inside their heavily-damaged houses,

risking their lives. Some of them have started rebuilding mud huts, using remnants of their collapsed houses and others have moved to rented rooms.

Elderly persons, pregnant women, new mothers and children are still living in temporary shelters. Cold weather is affecting their health.
