The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised Sri Lankans in Nepal to remain indoors and take precautions in light of the violent protests sweeping the country.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Thushara Rodrigo said that embassy officials in Kathmandu are on call 24 hours a day and can be reached via +977 9851048653.
He urged Sri Lankans to keep an emergency supply of water, dry food, and essential medicines with them at all times.
According to the ministry, there are currently 99 Sri Lankans in Nepal, including 22 university students, embassy staff, and others. Rodrigo confirmed that none of them have been affected so far, and that students have been contacted through WhatsApp groups for safety updates.
The ministry said it continues to closely monitor developments and remains in touch with the Sri Lankan mission and community leaders in Nepal.
