KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Nepalese counterpart K P Sharma Oli today jointly inaugurated a 400-bed Nepal-Bharat Maitri Pashupati Dharamshala – a rest house for pilgrims – build with the Indian assistance in Kathmandu.
“I am glad to inaugurate the Nepal-Bharat Maitri Pashupati Dharamshala in Kathmandu,” Prime Minister Modi said as he handed over the rest house to the Pashupati Area Development Trust.
The Dharmashala has provision for family rooms, kitchen, dining hall, library and some multipurpose halls to meet the requirements of the travellers and families on pilgrimage to Pashupatinath Temple – located on the banks of the Bagmati River.
“This is not just a building…The Nepal-Bharat Maitri Pashupati Dharamshala will remind the visitors about the friendship of the two neighbours,” Modi told a gathering, amid applause.
He also hailed the Nepal Government’s decision to publish in Nepali language the poems of late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. (AGENCIES)
