"In the initial days after the main quake, up to 13,000 aftershocks struck each day," Adhikari told Myrepublica, "Aftershocks haven't stopped."

According to him, around 100 aftershocks per day are measured these days.

The center said it has recorded over 13,000 aftershocks on April 25 and May 12.

NSC generally makes public only the aftershocks measuring 4 and above in the Richter scale.

"We measure earthquake above 2 Richter scale," he said, "They are not made public as people can't feel such low magnitude and it doesn't cause any loss."
