Nepal prepares to welcome Modi; Helipads constructed

Kathmandu, May 10: Nepal is all set to welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a two-day official visit starting on Friday.

This will be Modi's third tour to Nepal. High security was in place in Janakpur, Kathmandu and Muktinath where the Indian leader will be visiting.

Three helipads were constructed at the Janakpur Airport for the landing of Modi's helicopter. He is scheduled to arrive in Janakpur at 10 a.m. and will be received by Defence Minister Ishwor Pokharel and Chief Minister of Province-2, Lalbabu Raut.

He will offer special prayers at the city's Ram Janaki Mandir, making him the first Indian Prime Minister to do so with "khodasopachar" rituals.
