Birgunj, Nepal, which borders India, has been placed under curfew, and police are present everywhere. Everywhere you go you can see the evidence of the arson and violence that happened on Tuesday.
Nearly every crossroads in the city has ash from burned tires. Buildings appear to have been destroyed in various locations.
Firefighters were working putting out the fire Tuesday morning as smoke continued to rise from the Birgunj Municipality building. In addition, dozens of cars were burned here.
Without giving his name, a municipal employee who witnessed the arson told the RBN, "A group of roughly two hundred young people attacked and set fire everywhere." They were quite hostile. There was no one to stop them, and the cops were nowhere to be seen. His phone was damaged when he attempted to record a video.
Additionally, every document stored in the municipal office has been burned to ashes by fire.
Military forces are marching, and the city is in a tense state of calm.
Even pedestrians from both sides are not permitted to cross the fully sealed border with India, save from automobiles.
