India hands over 250 more vehicles to Nepal as election supportKathmandu: India on Thursday handed over more than 250 vehicles to Nepal as part of election-related assistance, as the Himalayan country prepares to hold parliamentary elections on March 5. This marks the second tranche of election assistance to Nepal, following the handover of more than 60 double-cab pickup vehicles and other supplies on January 20. The Indian Embassy in Kathmandu said the Government of India will provide around 650 vehicles for the upcoming elections, which will be delivered in separate batches over the next few weeks. The supplies form part of the assistance sought by the Nepali government in connection with preparations for the upcoming elections. A government-formed committee tasked with assessing the damage caused during the protests found that as many as 8,430 government-owned vehicles were damaged.
