The Government of India has provided vital humanitarian aid to Nepal in response to the recent floods and landslides that have severely affected several regions of the country. In a significant gesture of solidarity, a consignment of emergency relief materials was handed over by Second Secretary Shri Narayan Singh of the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu to Chief District Officer of Banke, Mr. Khagendra Prasad Rijal.

The consignment, weighing 4.2 tonnes, included essential items such as tarpaulins, sleeping bags, blankets, chlorine tablets, and bottled water. These supplies were transported from India to Nepalgunj and aim to provide immediate relief to families displaced by the natural disaster. Additional supplies, including hygiene items and medicines, are expected to arrive shortly.

India, known for its proactive role in crisis response, continues to act as a first responder in the region. Following the 2015 Nepal earthquake, India launched "Operation Maitri," its largest disaster relief effort abroad. More recently, in November 2023, India provided relief after the Jajarkot earthquake in Nepal.

The Government of India has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Nepal in the wake of the current devastation, with further assistance planned as the recovery process continues.
