Dhangadhi: In a compassionate gesture, the Far West Province government has disbursed financial support totaling two lakhs to the families of students who tragically lost their lives in Israel.

The support amount, previously announced, was officially handed over to the bereaved families on Tuesday in Tikapur. Shivraj Bhatt, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Law for the State Government, presided over the program, personally delivering the financial assistance to the families of the deceased. Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah and Israel's Ambassador to Nepal, Hanan Goder Goldwerger, were present at the ceremony as a demonstration of solidarity.
