Kathmandu: Electricity has been restored in Amritsar, located in the India-Pakistan border region, but a red alert is still in place.

Although a ceasefire between the two countries came into effect on Saturday evening, the Indian side has accused Pakistan of violating it. Government officials have reported hearing explosions and ongoing shelling in Amritsar and surrounding areas.
