New Delhi, Sep 10
Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Krishna on Wednesday said that security has been heightened in seven districts of the state bordering Nepal, as the political situation in the neighbouring country faces political turmoil in the wake of Gen Z protests, forcing the Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli to resign.
The DGP said that coordination with central forces and Nepalese authorities is ongoing.
The heightened vigilance comes in the wake of political turbulence in Nepal, which has led to a dangerous turn and has created a volatile security situation.
On Wednesday, the SSB apprehended five of the escaped prisoners from the Siddharth Nagar sector on the Indo-Nepal border.
They have been taken into custody and are being jointly interrogated by SSB, local police, and other agencies.
