CHITWAN: The Armed Police Force (APF) deputed along the Nepal-India border against coronavirus has continued its campaign to take control and quarantine the individuals covertly entering Nepal without any permission.

The campaign has been strictly put in place along the border checkpoint which falls under the coverage area of the APF Nepal Number 3 Gadhimai Battalion Headquarters Chitwan.

APF Additional Inspector General and Gadhimai Battalion Commander Krishna Bhakta Brahmacharya informed that those sneaking into Nepal from border entry points without any permit are being quarantined in coordination with the local governments.

As part of the campaign, the APF squad arrested and subsequently quarantined two individuals entering Nepal through Thori checkpoint.
