N2  - Emergency response is an important step of disaster management as it helps in normalizing the  life  of  affected  population  providing  basic  facilities.  In  relief  operation,  coordination plays a vital role for smooth operation and cooperation among stakeholders involved. The main  focus  of  the  research  is  to  assess  coordination  mechanism  during  relief  operation. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used for the study. Both primary and secondary sources  of  data  collection  was  used  such  as  household  survey, semi-structured  interviews and focus group discussion in Kathmandu district using purposive sampling. Sitapaila VDC was chosen for household survey and focus group discussion. It was found that there was initial coordination problem among different humanitarian responders mainly GON and its ministries and UN, INGOsandforeign militaries. Although news about preference given to Kathmandu for relief distribution was reportedinpost-disastercondition,from the survey, it was found that there was delay in relief operation. Few policies, strategies and acts are in place regarding disaster management in Nepal. The actual implementation is lacking which was clearly observed in Gorkha earthquake causingdelay  in  coordination,  rescue  and  relief  operation.  The  result  of  the  research  indicated unstable and weak governance, lack of local government staffs, ambiguity in authority and revision  of  plans  and  policies  after  the  disaster  to  cause  delay  in  proper  coordination  and relief efforts
