Indefinite Curfew Imposed in Nepal's Sunsari District After Communal Violence
An indefinite curfew remains in parts of Nepal's Sunsari district following communal violence that began Sunday, resulting in one death and multiple injuries. The clashes between two religious communities escalated over loudspeaker use and flag displays, prompting police to open fire to disperse crowds. Curfew and prohibitory orders restrict movement and public gatherings in several market areas and along the East-West Highway. Local authorities have convened meetings with political and community leaders to address tensions and maintain peace.
