Armed Police Force increasing its vigil at border

Kathmandu - Narendra Singh Karki The Armed Police Force (APF) has increased its vigilance at the border after Nepalis started crossing the Mahakali river to come to their homes one after the other. The Mahakali river forms the border with India. The people crossing the river by swimming and on tire tubes have been taken under control and kept in quarantines at the local level.

The trend of Nepalis stranded in various places of India due to the lockdown coming home by crossing the Mahakali river continues. It is said people cross the river during night to avoid police action as the border transit with India is closed. The APF has increased its vigilance in recent days to stop such illegal and risky crossing of border via river by the people.
