India heightened security along its 1,751-km unfenced border with Nepal following massive anti-government protests that forced PM KP Sharma Oli's resignation. The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) deployed additional forces at 22 outposts, with field commanders maintaining enhanced ground vigil. Police stations in five border areas are using drone surveillance, while joint SSB-police patrols and 'Operation Kavach' committees monitor cross-border movement closely. Nepal's social media ban disrupted communication between cross-border families before being revoked. Despite the ban's reversal, Gen-Z led protests continue demanding corruption accountability and justice for 19 deaths during police crackdowns. Border residents, particularly Tharu tribal families with marital ties across borders, faced communication hardships during the restrictions. (PC: Moneycontrol)
