Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday voiced deep concern over the escalating turmoil in Nepal, where widespread anti-government protests have claimed the lives of many young people. After reviewing rain-related damage in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, Modi chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security to assess the situation in Nepal, which has been gripped by violent demonstrations. Stressing India’s long-standing commitment to its neighbour’s well-being, he said the “stability, peace and prosperity of Nepal are of utmost importance to us.”
