Kathmandu: In a ceremony organized on Friday, Indian Ambassador Naveen Srivastava, on behalf of the Government of India, handed over 80 vehicles to Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of Nepal, as a gift from India for logistical support to Election Commission Nepal (ECN) for conduct of elections.
"These 80 vehicles are part of the 200 vehicles that have been provided to Nepal, at their request," read a statement issued by the Indian Embassy in Nepal.
The Government of India has been extending support in the form of vehicles as per the request of the Government of Nepal in previous years as well, for the utilization by Election Commission. Till date, 214 vehicles have been gifted to the Election Commission.
