Ram Krishna Shrestha, a local shopkeeper at Liping bazaar of Tatopani VDC situated on the Nepal-China border hasn't slept for two weeks, fearing recurring aftershocks and landslides in an area already devastated by the earthquake.

Residents of Liping bazaar and adjoining areas near Nepal-China border have been evacuated to a camp at Chaukidanda, a nearby village, following frequent landslides and aftershocks. Some of them have moved to either Kathmandu or other safer zones after the blocked Araniko Highway was cleared by a joint Nepali-Chinese disaster team four days ago.
Dozens of vehicles were parked in the Liping bazaar and Tatopani areas at the time of the earthquake. The wreckage of vehicles destroyed by massive landslides and rocks can be seen everywhere in the Liping Bazar and Tatopani areas. Almost all the houses are destroyed. Houses only partially damaged have no occupants. There is no movement at all and Liping bazaar, for the past two weeks, has looked like a ghost town.
