On Friday, Nepal Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle thanked India for its rescue and relief assistance following the flash floods in Rasuwa. He met External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in New Delhi.

Last week, India’s eighth relief flight delivered tunnel rescue equipment and forensic supplies. Nepal’s Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Mahabir Pun received the material.

India has deployed relief supplies, specialised equipment and expert personnel through nine special flights since August 26.
