Nepal Police have stepped up security measures across the country as preparations begin for the House of Representatives elections scheduled for March 2026. The move aims to ensure a peaceful, fair, and orderly electoral process amid increasing political activities nationwide.
According to police officials, security has been strengthened in major cities, district headquarters, and sensitive areas, with additional personnel deployed to monitor public gatherings, political rallies, and key infrastructure. Special attention is being given to regions identified as politically sensitive based on past election experiences.
Nepal Police have also increased patrolling, intelligence collection, and coordination with local administrations and security agencies. Checkpoints have been reinforced, and rapid response teams are being kept on standby to address any untoward incidents during the pre-election period.
Authorities say the focus is not only on physical security but also on preventing election-related violence, misinformation, and unlawful activities. Police have urged political parties, candidates, and the general public to cooperate and adhere strictly to election laws and codes of conduct.
With election campaigning expected to intensify in the coming months, Nepal Police have reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining law and order and safeguarding democratic processes, assuring citizens that necessary arrangements are in place to allow voters to participate freely and safely.
