Nepal-india Border

Locals in Bihar's Sitamarhi district recount the brutality and intimidation by Nepal's security personnel who on June 12 had resorted to unprovoked firing on a group of people at the international border, which left one Indian dead and two others injured.

Tremors were felt in parts of Uttarakhand this evening after a 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck near Nepal-India border.

Nepal today decided to clear key highways and border points blockaded by Indian-origin Madhesis for over two-months, affecting the supply of essential goods to the land-locked country, a day after four protesters died in police firing.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon underlined his concern over the blocking of essential supplies on the Nepal-India border and the adverse impact on the humanitarian operations post the devastating earthquake in April, his spokesman said in a statement.

Over 100 trucks carrying essential goods and petroleum products today entered Nepal from India bringing some respite to the country grappling with shortage of fuel and other commodities due to the blockade of key trade points with India by protesters opposing new Constitution.

Vital supplies to Nepal were cut off today as hundreds of protesters who were opposing the new Constitution had blocked key trade checkpoints between India and Nepal. More than hundred trucks loaded with essential goods, cooking gas cylinders and petroleum products were stalled at the Nepal-India border due to the agitation.
