Nepal Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India’s support after devastating floods killed more than 600 people in Nepal. Calling Modi “exceptionally generous”, Wagle said New Delhi had indicated it would provide substantial assistance for Nepal’s reconstruction. Since Wednesday, India has sent 57.6 tonnes of relief supplies and deployed an 11-member team of medical and tunnel rescue experts following a request from Kathmandu. Nepal has also mobilised more than 11,000 security personnel for rescue operations. Authorities are now focusing on saving stranded people, restoring connectivity and delivering relief to areas cut off by damaged roads. (PC: NDTV)
