The assistance comes as Nepal continues to deal with the impact of devastating flash floods along its border with the Tibet region. The floods have killed more than 170 people and caused widespread destruction.
‘The people of India stand in solidarity’
The first tranche of relief material was dispatched hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to his Nepalese counterpart Balendra Shah and assured him of India's support.

"India is ready to provide all possible humanitarian assistance to Nepal. Our teams are coordinating closely on rescue and relief efforts," he added.
The latest assistance is aimed at helping Nepal's rescue and relief agencies respond to the crisis and provide essential supplies to people affected by the floods.
