US Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Richard Rahul Verma, who was on a day-long visit to Kathmandu on Friday, pledged this during his meeting with Foreign Minister Arzu Deuba Rana, according to Yek Raj Pathak, her press adviser.

Separately, Deuba Rana also wrote in a post on X: “Thank you @DepSecStateMR and the US Department of State for the generous gift of 2 skytrucks and 2 additional Bell helicopters to support disaster management efforts in Nepal.” Earlier, the Nepal Army had requested US support to acquire two helicopters during Chief of Army Staff Prabhuram Sharma’s visit to the United States in February this year. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
