India Sends First Consignment of Bailey Bridge Components to Flood-Hit Nepal
India has delivered the first consignment of components for a 70-metre Bailey bridge to Nepal's Road Division in Hetauda to restore connectivity in the flood-affected Betrawati area. This aid follows devastating flash floods on August 26 that killed nearly 1,400 people and left over 5,000 missing. The modular steel bridge can be quickly assembled without heavy machinery. India has also provided extensive humanitarian support, including relief materials, expert personnel, rescue equipment, and special flights to assist Nepal's recovery efforts.
