Amid escalating tensions in Nepal, several Indian nationals returned home through the Panitanki border in West Bengal, citing the volatile situation and ongoing protests for accountability and transparency. The protests erupted after the government’s ban on major social media platforms, triggering public outrage against corruption and economic disparities. With at least 19 casualties and 500 injuries reported, a curfew has been implemented in key cities. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has issued a travel advisory, reflecting on the significant unrest and the desire for citizens to feel secure and supported, particularly in the face of regional instability.
