RSP spokesperson said – India’s kindness is necessary, this was proved in 2015 also
On India’s help, Jagdish Kharel, spokesperson of Nepal’s ruling Rashtriya Swatantra Party RSP, said, “We are grateful for the concern and kindness of the Indian side. On behalf of Nepal and the ruling party, we heartily thank the people of India, the Government of India and PM Modi for their kind words.”

This will be decided soon but the help from India and neighboring countries is very important for Nepal, as was proved in the 2015 earthquake.
