The baby's mother, Bhawana Sapkota Pudasaini, was initially admitted at the Kathmandu Medical college, but after the fresh quake on May 12 hit the Himalayan nation, she was was shifted to Sinamangal Indian Army Field Hospital where she delivered the girl child yesterday, army officials said.
The mother has named the baby "Bharti" to express her love and respect for India, the officials said.
The entire field hospital community celebrated the birth of the baby girl together with the members of Kathmandu Medical College.

Over 200 aftershocks were recorded measuring 4 or more magnitude after the devastating April 25 earthquake that killed more than 8,000 people across Nepal.
