Sonia Gandhi said she prayed for succour to all who have been affected by the earthquake and hoped that the damage is limited in Nepal as also in the adjoining areas of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the people affected by the massive earthquake in Nepal and parts of India. I hope the damage to life and property is limited and those in need receive assistance at the earliest," Rahul Gandhi said in his message.
Nearly 700 people were killed in Nepal as the quake flattened houses and buildings and triggered an avalanche on Mt Everest.
