'Not even sparing tourists': Indian woman in Nepal cries for help; claims her entire hotel torched - video

NEW DELHI: An Indian tourist, stranded in Pokhara, has appealed the embassy for help as the Gen Z protests in Nepal turned deadly, with the mob setting fire to public infrastructure on Tuesday, ultimately leading to the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.In a video shared by Prafful Garg, tourist named Upastha Gill claimed that the mob was not even sparing tourists, as she went on to share her ordeal of losing all her belongings as the “entire hotel” was burned down. “My name is Upastha Gill, and I am sending this video to Praful Garg. I request the Indian embassy to please help us. All those who can help us, please help. I am stranded here in Pokhara, Nepal. I had come here to host a volleyball league, and currently, the hotel where I was staying has been burned down. All my luggage, all my belongings, were in my room, and the entire hotel was set on fire. I was in the spa, and people were running behind me with very large sticks, and I barely managed to escape with my life,” the woman said in the video.“The situation here is very bad. Fires are being set on roads everywhere. They are not even sparing tourists here. They don’t care if someone is a tourist or if someone has come here for work. They are setting fires everywhere without thinking, and the situation has become very, very bad here. We don’t know how long we will stay in another hotel. But I just request the Indian embassy that please, this video, this message, should be delivered to them. With folded hands, I request all of you, please help us. There are many people with me here, and we are all stranded here,” she added. Meanwhile, the ministry of external affairs issued an advisory on Tuesday asking Indian citizens to postpone travel to Nepal till the situation there stabilises.”Indian citizens presently in Nepal are advised to shelter in their current places of residence, avoid going out onto the streets and exercise due caution. They are also advised to follow local safety advisories from Nepal authorities as well as the embassy of India in Kathmandu,” MEA said.Moreover, security has been amped up at India-Nepal border. Army personnel were deployed across Kathmandu and other cities to enforce restrictions and restore order.
