The Indian government has informed Nepal about the developments about Kashmir in both New Delhi and Kathmandu.
Indian Ambassador to Nepal Manjeev Singh Puri has met Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali and briefed him about the developments about Kashmir while the Indian foreign secretary has called Nepali envoy there to the ministry and briefed about the same, according to Minister Gyawali.
Gyawali called briefing neighbors about any significant development a general diplomatic practice.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led Hindu nationalist government in New Delhi scrapped Jammu and Kashmir's statehood and special status, including the right to its own constitution, split it into two union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, and clamped a complete shutdown on the Muslim-majority Kashmir.
The political crisis over the disputed territory of Kashmir escalated Wednesday when Pakistan said it would downgrade its diplomatic ties with India, expel the Indian ambassador and suspend bilateral trade with its regional rival.
