Nepal to Deploy 3,500 Police Personnel for Festival Security in Kathmandu
Nepal plans to deploy around 3,500 police personnel across Kathmandu Valley for security during the Vijaya Dashami, Deepawali, and Chhath festivals. The police will operate in uniform and plain clothes, focusing on theft, fraud, robbery, and public misbehaviour. Security measures include intensified checks, sniffer dogs, CCTV surveillance, and special attention to crowded areas. A 13-point safety advisory urges the public to protect valuables, avoid illegal activities, and exercise caution with online transactions during the festive period.
