India calls for ‘restrain’ as Nepal Gen-Z protests leave 19 dead, advises nationals to ‘exercise caution’

India has called for ‘restrain’ as the Nepali police’s crackdown killed 19 protesters across the country. India has also advised its nationals to ’exercise caution’.

A day after Nepali police’s crackdown killed at least 19 protesters and injured hundreds, India has called for “restrain” and asked its nationals to “exercise caution”.

Several thousands of Nepalis took to streets across the country on Monday in youth-led protest against the government’s corruption and ban on social media. The police crackdown killed at least 19 protesters — 17 in the capital Kathmandu and two in eastern Nepal’s Sunsari district. Hundreds were injured.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday said it was “closely monitoring” the developments and was saddened at the loss of many young lives. It further advised Indians to exercise caution and hoped for restrain in the county.

“As a close friend and neighbour, we hope that all concerned will exercise restraint and address any issues through peaceful means and dialogue. We have also taken note that authorities have imposed curfew in Kathmandu and several other cities of Nepal. Indian nationals in Nepal are advised to exercise caution and adhere to the steps and guidelines issued by the Nepali authorities,” the MEA said in a press release.

This is a developing story.
