Indo-Nepal border get sealed during UP, Uttarakhand polls

Indo-Nepal checkpoints in Beldandi and Tribhuvan Basti will remain closed from tomorrow evening and they will reopen after 17:00 pm on the election day, Kanchanpur’s Deputy Superintendent of Police Nainsingh Karki said.

The decision to seal the border points was taken with a view to averting any untoward incident during the election period.

India shares a porous border with Nepal. Closing border points is a common practice during elections to prevent movement of anti-social elements.
