Although the government has claimed that it has been distributing relief materials and funds to the quake victims, many of them have complained that they have got nothing in the name of relief so far.
The victims are originally from Nuwakot and Sindhupalchok, the worst quake-hit districts.
"We are yet to get succour. There are also problems of drinking water and toilets in the settlement. Children and elderly are suffering from common cold and fever due to cold," said quake victim Sushmita Thapa.
The victims have also demanded security as they complained that some people under the influence of alcohol have been misbehaving women and girls living in the tents.
