Indian Army on Tuesday said it would continue providing aid and assistance to Nepal until 'normalcy' returns to the Himalayan country that was hit by a powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale on Saturday.
Indian Army's Additional Director General Military Operations Maj Gen Ranbir Singh said: "We have not set a time frame for continuing these relief operations but we are committed (to doing so) until Nepal wants".
Army teams have reached remotest parts of Nepal and have a 45-bed hospital and three field hospitals with 18 medical teams for treating the wounded. Army doctors are also working with civil hospitals in Nepal, Maj Gen Singh said in a statement on Tuesday. Additionally, 12 engineering task forces — each having 70 seventy people — have been sent to Nepal to help clear roads in the country, he said.
