Indo-Nepal border to be closed during UP polls

BAREILLY: Aiming at curbing liquor menace and other electoral offences during Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Indo-Nepal border along the state would be sealed, police said here today.

"A vigil would be maintained on Indo-Nepal border as there is possibility of smuggling of fake currency and illicit arms during UP polls," IG (Bareilly range) R P Singh said.

"Closing of all roads on border adjacent to Pilibhit district would be initiated. Smuggling of illicit liquor would be checked strictly in all four districts of the division," he said.
