KATHMANDU, May 17 — Nepal’s police fired live rounds into the air to deter Indian farmers trying to cross the border to harvest their corn amid the coronavirus lockdown, an official said today. “Our border police opened fire into the air after the crowd attacked their base post,” Ranamagar said.Earlier this month police in the same district fired blank rounds to disperse dozens of Indians trying to cross the border, Ranamagar said. It was not clear if they were also farmers.
But Nepal closed its international borders on March 22 amid the pandemic, before imposing a nationwide lockdown two days later.
