'Situation is really dangerous,' says Indian national returning from Nepal amid protests

With flaring tensions, Prime Minister KP Oli and President Ram Chandra Poudel have resigned from their positions.

The Indian national was breathing a sigh of relief on making it to safety. Anil Gupta, who has just returned from Nepal, was seen speaking to news agency ANI, he said,"The situation is really dangerous there."
