Heightened Security Measures in Nepal's Border Areas Amidst Regional Tensions

Nepal's paramilitary Armed Police Force (APF) has significantly ramped up security measures along the country's border regions to thwart any infiltration attempts. This move comes in response to mounting tensions between neighboring India and Pakistan, as confirmed by an APF official on Wednesday.

Deputy spokesperson Shailendra Thapa highlighted that a high alert status has been activated in response to the evolving regional security landscape. Enhanced cooperation with the Sashastra Seema Bal from India has been established to safeguard the border.

All APF units have received directives to conduct round-the-clock patrols across border points, ensuring vigilant monitoring and control of unauthorized entries. This initiative aims to fortify Nepal's border security apparatus effectively.
