Modi calls Nepal PM, promises ‘all possible assistance’ after devastating flash flood
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Nepal PM K.P. Sharma Oli to express solidarity after devastating flash floods and landslides triggered by heavy monsoon rains. India pledged 'all possible assistance' and deployed IAF aircraft — a C-130 from Hindon Air Base on Wednesday night and a C-17 on Thursday morning — carrying relief supplies. This rapid humanitarian response underscores India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy and operational readiness of IAF for disaster relief, a recurring theme in defence and international relations sections of competitive exams.
