The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has promised to provide a grant assistance of $25.6 million to help restore economic activity in parts of Nepal devastated by last year's monsoon floods.

More than 300,000 people living in the eastern and far western region of the country were seriously affected by the August floods, and the landslides that followed.

The district administration has finalised comprehensive flood relief and safety plans, which would be implemented with the active role of concerned departments. The District Co-ordination Officer (DCO) Nayyer Iqbal said this here Tuesday while presiding over a meeting to review pre-flood arrangements.
