Following escalating protests in Nepal that have left 19 people dead, Indian authorities have declared high alert along the India-Nepal border. The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) is closely monitoring the situation to ensure that instability does not spill over into Indian territory. Officials clarified that the measures are precautionary and the situation remains under control for now. Protests erupted after Nepal imposed a ban on social media, which fueled anger over corruption and government failures. Amid the violence, Nepal’s Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak resigned, and Prime Minister Oli convened an emergency cabinet meeting.
