The move comes after a former Maoist splinter party started a campaign against Indian movies and TV channels in Nepal.The president of the Nepal Cable Television Association told BBC Nepali the “black-out will be indefinite”. Sudhir Parajuli yesterday said they decided to shut down the broadcast of the Indian channels as “India has been intruding in the national sovereignty of Nepal,” the PTI agency said.A Kathmandu movie theatre stopped showing Indian movies two days ago, an employee said.
Nepal yesterday briefly detained 13 personnel of India’s Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) who had “inadvertently” entered the country while chasing suspected smugglers near Jhapa district, bordering Bihar.
Nepal’s Armed Police Force personnel deployed at the Border Account Post at Kechana Village in Jhapa district, bordering Bihar’s Kishanganj district, arrested the SSB jawans around 6:30 am, according to Nepal Police sources. Four SSB jawans were carrying modern rifles, they said.All 13 SSB personnel were later released after being briefly kept at the APF camp in Kechana.
