A majority of people, who were already sleeping in open areas, also panicked.
Crisis is looming over quake-hit Nepal following shortage of food, water, electricity and medicines as fear drove tens of thousands of people out into the open and the death toll soared to 4,000 amid fears that it could touch 5,000.
The death toll in Nepal from the earthquake has risen to around 4,000, officials said.
