New Delhi, April 20 -- Nafisa (single name), in her late 30s, had just had a chat with her neighbours before going to bed at 12.30am. She woke up at 2.30am when she felt the room shaking and then saw something hit the balcony wall.

She lives in the house opposite the one that collapsed in Dayalpur, along with her husband and five children. The family runs a meat shop on the ground floor and lives on the first and second floor in a 30-square-yard house. "I thought it was an earthquake. I woke up my husband, pulled two of my children and ran out," said Nafisa.
