Prachanda to meet Manmohan, Sonia

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Nepalese Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda) arrived here on Sunday to interact with India’s top leadership, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition L. K. Advani and External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

Minister of State for Home Shakeel Ahmed and senior officials of the Ministry of External Affairs welcomed Mr. Prachanda at the airport.

In his first visit to India after becoming the Prime Minister, Mr. Prachanda is leading a 44-member delegation, including four Ministers, government officials, heads of industry associations, business federations and journalists. He will begin his official engagements on Monday with a call by Mr. Mukherjee.

From the Indian side, there is a strong demand to take a closer look at the Kosi river treaty following the breach in the river’s embankment in Nepal in mid-August causing devastation in several north Bihar districts.
