KATHMANDU, Oct 19: Ambassador of Japan to Nepal, Masamichi Saigo, on Friday handed over agricultural facilities at two Bhutanese camps and their neighboring communities in Jhapa. 

The facilities include greenhouses, drip irrigation and shallow tube wells, which are valued at Rs 8.1 million, a statement issued by the embassy said. 

At the handover ceremony, Ambassador Saigo said that he hoped the assistance would contribute to providing opportunities for income generation for Bhutanese refugees and the neighboring communities.

This GGP project is managed by the Lutheran World Federation Nepal.
