The Nepal Police honored Mahesh Kumar Shrestha, President of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) International Coordination Council, on the occasion of its Police Day (Sthapana Diwas).

President Shrestha was honored with a certificate of appreciation during a special ceremony held at the Police Headquarters in Naxal to mark the 70th Establishment Day of the Nepal Police.
