Security has been tightened along the porous Indo-Nepal border in western Nepal even as an Indian national was among 11 persons arrested on Wednesday following violent protests against the proposed new Constitution which have killed 11 people including seven policemen.
The number of security personnel deployed in the border area in Kailali district has been increased and monitoring of people’s movement has also been intensified, according to Home Ministry sources.
The move comes in the wake of Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Bamdev Gautam’s statement in Parliament that people from across the border had infiltrated into the mob that killed seven policemen.
