Prime Minister Bhattarai, extreme left in black cap, and Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal dahal “Prachanda” (middle, bespectacled and talking on phone) are surrounded by Maoist lawmakers outside the Constituent Assembly (parliament) building in New Baneshwar, Kathmandu, soon after the earthquake shook the Chinese-made building. Kantipur TV broadcast a footage of the parliamentary proceeding in which the Speaker- Subash Chandra Nembang- was seen calm and composed as the quake started shaking the building. He adjured the meeting only after some lawmakers started running out of the meeting hall shouting and screaming. Pic by Shaligram Tiwari via Kantipur
