Ambassador Srivastava hands over India's Nepal relief

Indian Ambassador to Nepal Naveen Srivastava formally handed over a fresh tranche of relief material to the Government of Nepal in Kathmandu on 2 September 2026, following the arrival of India's fifth relief aircraft carrying an 11-member specialised rescue team and 5.5 tonnes of essential medicines.

Relief material — including 5.5 tonnes of essential medicines and specialised rescue equipment — was unloaded from India's fifth humanitarian aircraft at Kathmandu on 2 September 2026, as part of New Delhi's ongoing disaster-relief mission to Nepal.

An 11-member specialised rescue team from India arrived in Kathmandu on 2 September 2026 aboard the fifth Indian relief flight, bringing dedicated rescue equipment to support Nepal's ongoing disaster-response operations.

By 2 September 2026, India had dispatched at least five dedicated relief flights to Nepal, collectively delivering specialised rescue personnel, equipment and medicines — underscoring New Delhi's 'Neighbourhood First' commitment during the flood crisis.
