On the occasion of the 151st birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, India gifted its neighbouring country Nepal a total of 41 ambulances and six school buses.
"Marking the 151st Gandhi Jayanti, India gifted 41 Ambulances to government and non-profit organizations of Nepal working in 29 districts across Nepal," Indian Embassy in Kathmandu stated.
Along with this, New Delhi gifted Kathmandu with ambulances that have primary medical facilities in order to fight against the rising COVID-19 infection in the nation.
Since 1994, the Indian embassy has gifted nearly 823 ambulances, including those gifted today.
For the first time, the embassy has gifted three different categories of ambulances, Advance Life Support category, Basic Life Support and Common Life Support ambulances.
All three categories are built as per the guidelines of the Nepal government.
