APF patrolling the border

Kathmandu - The Armed Police Force (APF) has set up additional border out-post (BOP) to bring the border with India to a complete closure for human mobility, in an effort to stem the spread of Corona Virus. The APF units have been established at 55 different locations of the border in Saptari district, the Armed Police Force Nepal No. 6 Battalion has said.

Along with the increased number of BOPs regular patrolling of the border has also been initiated, the Battalion chief SP Uddav Neupane said. The 78-kilometer border with India in the district was earlier manned by only seven BOPs. However, units have now been set up in 55 locations including 16 temporary posts bringing human mobility to a standstill.
