Our members are holding talks with politicians to arrange logistical help for our group," said Dr Veluri Vishwanath Reddy, managing director of city-based Tulasi Hospital.
A 1998 batch student of College of Medical Sciences (CMS), Bharatpur, Nepal, Dr Vishwanath, a consultant orthopaedician, added that Nepali doctors settled in the US and Australia have already started pooling in funds.
