India Issues Preventive Alert Along Nepal Border Amid Widespread Kathmandu UnrestINDIA–NEPAL BORDER
India has issued an alert along its 1,751 km border with Nepal after violent protests in Kathmandu and other cities left 16 people dead and over 40 injured. The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), which mans the frontier, has stepped up vigilance to prevent any spillover into Indian territory, though officials stressed the alert is “preventive in nature.” The unrest, largely driven by Nepal’s Gen Z, erupted after the government banned 26 social media platforms, sparking outrage over curbs on free expression and frustration with corruption. Protesters stormed parliament, clashing with police, while dozens of injured demonstrators are being treated in Kathmandu hospitals, according to local media reports.
