Communal Clashes in Southeastern Nepal Lead to Curfews and Security Measures
Communal clashes between Hindu and Muslim groups in southeastern Nepal's Sunsari district sparked violence over loud music and religious flags, resulting in at least three deaths and multiple injuries. Authorities imposed indefinite curfews across four districts, including Saptari, Dhanusha, and Siraha, and increased security deployment to contain tensions. Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah urged calm and announced investigations and relief for victims' families. Indian border districts, such as Bihar's Madhubani, have also heightened security amid concerns of unrest spreading.
