"I had a fear, a strange fear of loneliness. A feeling of loneliness, how to get out of this catastrophic situation for thousands and thousands of people. These have been the craziest days of my life. I do not remember the dates after 2 or 3 days", says Rama.

However, the Premier declared that every crisis is an opportunity and he was aware that the tragedy must be transformed into a new beginning -referring to the reconstruction process of new apartments buildings, houses, schools, etc., destroyed by the earthquake.
