Jul 30, Kathmandu - Tensions between two communities have escalated, prompting authorities to impose a curfew in the urban areas of Janakpur. District Chief Prem Prasad Luitel confirmed that the curfew would take effect from 3:30 PM today.

The decision was made during a meeting of the District Security Committee, he added.

Similarly, the local administration in Golbazar, Siraha District, has also imposed a curfew in the surrounding areas.
