Kathmandu, Sept 30 (PTI)
The US has provided military hardware for the Nepalese police force as part of the anti-terror cooperation between the two countries.
A Bulgarian cargo aircraft carrying the consignment landed at the Tribhuvan International Airport yesterday evening after a stopover in Ahmedabad for refuelling, official sources said.
US Embassy spokeswoman Constance C. Jones said the consignment comprised anti-terror training equipment provided by the US government to Nepal police under its on-going security assistance to the Himalayan Kingdom.
She denied there were arms in the consignment as reported in a section of the media.
Meanwhile, a Russian manufactured MI-17 cargo helicopter purchased by the Nepal government to upgrade the capability of the Royal Nepal Army also arrived yesterday.
