Nepal has closed multiple border points with India for 72 hours as a security measure ahead of Bihar's second phase elections. The closure affects several districts including Mahottari, which sealed eleven border crossings. The second phase will see 122 constituencies voting across 20 districts with 1,302 candidates competing for seats. The temporary border closure is a standard security protocol during elections in either country.
