KATHMANDU, Jan. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Experts have predicted the possibility of occurrence of a huge earthquake with Gosainthan of Banepa municipality, only 70 km east of Kathmandu, as the epicenter in the near future.

"The tremor may measure a magnitude of 7.6 on the Richter scale," Surya Narayan Shrestha, an engineer at the Nepal National Society for Earthquake Technology, told reporters on Sunday.

An earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale that shook Nepal in 1934 took the lives of 8,519 people including 4,296 in the Kathmandu Valley alone.
