Security officers patrol during a Hindu rally in Nepalgunj, about 400 kilometers west of the capital, Kathmandu, Nepal, Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023. Despite quickly escalating tensions between Hindus and Muslims, the night passed peacefully after a curfew was imposed and security heightened in a city in southwest Nepal, officials said. Communal violence is not common in Nepal, which is a Hindu majority country that turned secular just a few years ago.
Area police chief Santosh Rathore said officers were patrolling the city and people were not allowed to leave their homes or gather in groups during the lockdown. There were no reports of any trouble overnight, nor on Wednesday morning.
