As Nepal marks the first anniversary of the devastating earthquake, the National Seismological Centre (NSC) today recorded a tremor of 4.2 magnitude in Nuwakot district.
The tremor, whose epicentre lies northwest of the Kathmandu Valley, has been listed as an aftershock of last year's 7.6 earthquake that hit Barpak of Gorkha district, reports the Himalayan Times.
