During the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in India, the Kailali border crossing is set to shut down temporarily. Administrative Officer Shivaraj Joshi from the District Administration Office confirmed that the closure will commence at 6 pm on Friday. This measure is in preparation for the elections scheduled for May 13 in Uttar Pradesh’s Khiri district.
Joshi emphasized that the border closure will persist until the completion of the voting process. This aligns with the standard protocol of shutting down border crossings 72 hours before elections in both Nepal and India.
